View the DataWindow in the DataWindow painter – PB Docs 2022

1. Click the Return button in the PainterBar

   or

   Select File>Return To DataWindow Painter from the menu
   bar.

   The DataWindow wizard asks you to select the borders and
   colors for the new DataWindow object.

2. Select Raised from the Border drop-down list box for
   columns.

   Click Next.

   You have added raised borders to the DataWindow columns, but
   not to the labels. The DataWindow wizard summarizes your
   selections.

3. Click Finish.

   Because you selected the Retrieve On Preview check box and
   because the Preview view is part of the default layout scheme for
   the DataWindow painter, the Specify Retrieval Arguments dialog box
   appears.

   This dialog box prompts you for an argument value. When you
   put this DataWindow object into the tutorial application, you write
   a script that passes the required argument to the DataWindow object
   automatically.

   

4. Type a customer ID (such as 101, 102, or 103) in the Value
   field.

   Click OK.

   The DataWindow painter opens. The Design view displays the new
   DataWindow object.

   

Changing font sizes

If you cannot see all letters in a label, press Ctrl+A to select
all the items in the DataWindow, then select a smaller font size in
the StyleBar.

Retrieving other records

If you want to preview the record for another customer, you can
right-click inside the DataWindow Preview view, select Retrieve from
the pop-up menu, then specify a different customer ID in the Specify
Retrieval Arguments dialog box.
