Using options in the development environment
There are three options on the Workspaces page of the System
Options dialog box that you can use to determine what displays when
you start PowerBuilder.
To open the System Options dialog box
-
Select Tools>System Options from the menu bar.
Opening just the
workspace
If you want PowerBuilder to open the last workspace you used at
startup, select the Workspaces page and then check Reopen Workspace on
Startup.
Opening the workspace, painters, and
scripts
If you want PowerBuilder to open the last workspace you used and
the painters and editors you were using, check Reopen Workspace on
Startup and Reload Painters When Opening Workspace. When you open
PowerBuilder, any painters and editors that were open when you closed
PowerBuilder are reloaded. If you edited a script before closing
PowerBuilder, the Script view is scrolled to show the last line you
edited.
Opening with no
workspace
If you want PowerBuilder to open without loading a workspace,
clear Reopen Workspace on Startup. If you want the painters and
editors that were open when you last used a workspace to be reloaded
when you reopen it, clear Reopen Workspace on Startup and check Reload
Painters When Opening Workspace.
Displaying the Welcome dialog
box
If you want to see the Welcome to PowerBuilder dialog box when
you start PowerBuilder, check Show Start Dialog at Startup with no
Workspace and clear Reopen Workspace on Startup. The Welcome to
PowerBuilder dialog box is shown in The
PowerBuilder environment.
