Displaying boundaries for controls in a DataWindow object

When reorganizing controls in the Design view, it is sometimes helpful to see how large all the controls are. That way you can easily check for overlapping controls and make sure that the spacing around controls is what you want.

StepsTo display control boundaries in a DataWindow object:

  1. Select Design>Options from the menu bar.

    The DataWindow Options dialog box displays.

  2. Select the Show Edges check box.

    PowerBuilder displays the boundaries of each control in the DataWindow object.

NoteBoundaries display only in the Design view The boundaries displayed for controls are for use only in the Design view. They do not display in a running DataWindow object or in a printed report.
