Specifying additional properties for character
columns
You can also set two additional properties for character
columns on the Display property page: Case and Picture.
Specifying the displayed
case
You can specify whether PowerBuilder converts the case of
characters for a column in a DataWindow object.
To specify how character data should be displayed
-
On the Display property page, select a value in the Case
drop-down list:Value

Specifying a column as a
picture
You can specify that a character column can contain names of
picture files.
To specify that column values are names of picture
files
-
On the Display property page, select the Picture check
box.When the Picture check box is selected, PowerBuilder
expects to find picture file names in the column and displays
the contents of the picture file—not the name of the file—in
reports and DataWindow objects.Because PowerBuilder cannot determine the size of the
image until runtime, it sets both display height and display
width to 0 when you select the Picture check box. -
Enter the size and the justification for the picture
(optional).
