Specifying the target’s library search path
The objects you create in painters are stored in PowerBuilder
libraries (PBLs). You can use
objects from one library or multiple libraries in a PowerScript target.
You define each library the target uses in the library search path.
PowerBuilder uses the search path to find referenced objects
during execution. When a new object is referenced, PowerBuilder
looks through the libraries in the order in which they are specified
in the library search path until it finds the object.
On the Library List tab page of the Target Properties dialog
box, you can modify the libraries associated with the current target.
To specify the target’s library search
path:
-
In the Workspace tab of the System Tree,
right-click on the target containing your application and select
Properties from the pop-up menu. The Target Properties dialog box
displays. -
Select the Library List tab page.
The libraries currently included in the library search path
are displayed in the list. -
Do one of the following:
- Enter
the name of each library you want to include in the Library Search
Path list, separating the names with semicolons. - Use the Browse button to include other libraries
in your search path.
You must specify libraries using an absolute path. To change
the order of libraries in the search path, use the pop-up menu to
copy, cut, and paste libraries.
Make sure the order is correct When you select multiple libraries from the Select Library
dialog box using Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click, the
first library you select appears last in the Library Search Path
list and will be the last library searched.To delete a library from the search path, select the library
in the list and use the pop-up menu or press Delete. - Enter
-
Click OK.
PowerBuilder updates the search path for the target.
Where PowerBuilder maintains the library search path PowerBuilder stores your target’s library search
path in the target (.pbt) file in a line beginning
with LibList; for example:
|
1 |
LibList "pbtutor.pbl;tutor_pb.pbl"; |
