Specifying the target’s library search path – PB Docs 2017

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 target. You define each library the target uses in the
library search path.

PowerBuilder uses the search path to find referenced objects at
runtime. 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

  1. In the Workspace tab of the System Tree, right-click on the
    target containing your application and select Library List from
    the pop-up menu.

    The Target Properties dialog box displays the Library List
    tab page. The libraries currently included in the library search
    path are displayed in the list.

  2. 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.

  3. 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:
