Using the pop-up menu

Like other painters, the Library painter has a pop-up menu that provides options that apply to the selected item in the Tree view or the List view. For example, from a library’s pop-up menu, you can delete, optimize, or search the library, print the directory, specify the objects that display in the library, and import objects into it.

The actions available from an object’s pop-up menu depend on the object type. For PowerBuilder objects that you can work with in painters, you can edit the object in a painter or in the Source editor, copy, move, or delete the object, export it to a text file, search it, regenerate it, or send it to a printer. You can also preview and inherit from some objects. For most of these actions, the object must be in a library in your current workspace.

Actions available from the pop-up menus are also available on the Entry menu on the menu bar.
