Note: Several properties have been renamed with a "PB" prefix. For example, Height and Width properties are set as PBHeight and PBWidth; the Tag and FontFamily properties are set as PBTag and PBFontFamily. TabOrder is included as a property in the Property view for an object or control.

Unsupported PowerScript events

This table lists PowerBuilder .NET controls with unsupported PowerScript events:

Control	Unsupported events
All controls	Other
DataWindow	HtmlContextApplied, PrintMarginChange, and RButtonUp
DatePicker	UserString
Menu	Help

Note: The Help event is supported, and can be triggered by pressing the F1 key in windows, menus, and for all controls that inherit from DragObject. Although the Help event can also be triggered in PowerBuilder Classic by clicking a question mark icon in a window title bar, then clicking a control in the same window, in the .NET Framework, the question mark icon is not available, and users cannot open context-specific help using this method.

Unsupported PowerScript functions

This table lists PowerBuilder .NET objects and controls with unsupported PowerScript functions:

Object or control	Unsupported functions
All objects and controls	SetRedraw (Supported for DataWindow controls with this behavior change: setting this method to false prevents the DataWindow inner control from being redrawn, but does not prevent the DataWindow control itself from being redrawn.)
Application objects	SetTransPool Obsolete method: SetLibraryList
DataStore	CopyRTF, CreateFrom, GenerateResultSet, GetStateStatus, InsertDocument, PasteRTF, ResetInk, SaveInk, SaveInkPicture, SetCultureFormat, and SetHTMLAction Obsolete method: GenerateHTMLForm
DataWindow	GenerateResultSet, GetDataLabelling, GetSeriesLabelling, GetStateStatus, OleActivate, SetCultureFormat, SetDataLabelling, SetHTMLAction, and SetSeriesLabelling Obsolete methods: DBErrorCode, DBErrorMessage, GenerateHTMLForm, GetMessageText, GetSQLPreview, and GetUpdateStatus
DataWindowChild	OleActivate and SetCultureFormat Obsolete methods: DBErrorCode, DBErrorMessage, GetSQLPreview, and GetUpdateStatus
Graph (Graph controls are available in the DataWindow painter only.)	GetDataLabelling, GetSeriesLabelling, SetDataLabelling, and SetSeriesLabelling
RichTextEdit	GetSpacing, PrintEx, and Scroll InsertDocument and SaveDocument work with RTF and TXT formats only.
UserObject	AddItem, DeleteItem, EventParmDouble, EventParmString, and InsertItem
Window	ArrangeSheets, CloseChannel, ExecRemote, GetCommandDDE, GetDataDDE, GetDataDDEOrigin, GetRemote, OpenChannel, RespondRemote, SetDataDDE, SetRemote, StartHotLink, StartServerDDE, StopHotLink, and StopServerDDE
