Modifying comments
You can use comments to document your objects and libraries.
For example, you might use comments to describe how a window is
used, specify the differences between descendent objects, or identify
a PowerBuilder library.
You can associate comments with an object or library when
you first save it in a painter and add or modify comments in the
System Tree or Library painter. If you want to modify comments for
a set of objects, you can do so quickly in the List view.
To modify comments for multiple objects:
-
In the List view, select the objects you
want. -
Select Entry>Properties from the menu
bar or select Properties from the pop-up menu.PowerBuilder displays the Properties dialog box. The information
that displays is for one of the objects you selected. You can change
existing comments, or, if there are no comments, you can enter new
descriptive text. -
Click OK when you have finished editing comments
for this object.If you do not want to change the comments for an object, click
OK. The next object displays. -
Enter comments and click OK for each object until
you have finished.If you want to stop working on comments before you finish
with the objects you selected, click Cancel. The comments you have
entered until the most recent OK are retained and display in the
List view.
To modify comments for a library:
-
Select the library you want.
-
Click the Properties button or select Library
from the pop-up menu. -
Add or modify the comments.
