Modifying text in a DataWindow object
When PowerBuilder initially generates the basic DataWindow
object, it uses the following attributes and fonts:
-
For the text and alignment of column headings and labels,
PowerBuilder uses the extended column attributes made in the
Database painter. -
For fonts, PowerBuilder uses the definitions made in the
Database painter for the table. If you did not specify fonts for
the table, PowerBuilder uses the defaults set in the Application
painter.
You can override any of these defaults in a particular
DataWindow object.
