Previewing the DataWindow object – PB Docs 125

Previewing the DataWindow object

Previewing the DataWindow object lets you see how the OLE object
displays the data from the DataWindow object. You can preview in the Preview
view or in preview mode

proc.png To preview the DataWindow object with the OLE object
in preview mode:

  1. Select File>Run/Preview
    from the menu bar, or click the Run/Preview button on the
    PowerBar.

  2. Select Rows>Retrieve from the menu bar.

    The DataWindow object retrieves rows from the database and replaces
    the initial presentation of the OLE object with an image of the
    data that the OLE server provides.

  3. If you associated the OLE object with all rows,
    activate the OLE object by double-clicking on it.

    Although you can edit the presentation or the data in the
    server, your changes do not affect the DataWindow object’s
    data.

    note.png You cannot always activate the OLE object

    If the OLE object is associated with individual rows in the
    detail band or with the page, you (and the user) cannot activate
    it; you can only view it.

  4. Close the preview window.

    Closing the preview window or the Preview view deactivates
    the OLE object.
