Which objects are not copied to the dynamic libraries

When building a dynamic library, PowerBuilder does not inspect the objects; it simply copies the compiled form of the objects. Therefore, the DataWindow objects and resources (pictures, icons, and pointers) used by any of the objects in the library—either specified in a painter or assigned dynamically in a script—are not copied into the dynamic library.

For example, suppose test_dw.pbl contains DataWindow objects and test_w.pbl contains window objects that reference them, either statically or dynamically. If you build a dynamic library from test_w.pbl, you must either include the DataWindow objects in a PowerBuilder resource file that is referenced by test_w.pbl, or build a dynamic library from test_dw.pbl, as described in “How to include the objects that were not found”.
