Adding Reports and Child DataWindows to a DataWindow Object

You can nest reports (nonupdatable DataWindow objects) or Child DataWindows (updatable DataWindow objects) in a DataWindow object.

Nesting reports works the same in PowerBuilder .NET as in PowerBuilder Classic, except that you select the Report control from the Toolbox. See the PowerBuilder Users Guide.

The Child DataWindow control is similar to the nested report, but you do not need to set the AutoSizeHeight property to true because the control supports the HScrollbar, VScrollbar, and LiveScroll properties. Also, if you insert it into a Composite presentation style DataWindow object, the Child DataWindow is updatable. See About Child DataWindows.
