You might want all the DataWindow controls in your application to have similar appearance and behavior. For example, you might want all of them to do the same error handling.
To be able to define these behaviors once and reuse them in each window, you should create a standard user object based on the DataWindow control: define the user object’s properties and write scripts that perform the generic processing you want, such as error handling. Then place the user object (instead of a new DataWindow control) in the window. The DataWindow user object has all the desired functionality predefined. You do not need to respecify it.
For more information about creating and using user objects, see the PowerBuilder Users Guide.
