PowerBuilder Visual Controls in Windows Forms Applications

For most PowerBuilder visual controls, the only unsupported event in Windows Forms applications is the Other event, and the only unsupported property is IMEMode.

This table lists PowerBuilder visual controls and indicates whether they are fully or partially supported in Windows Forms applications. If a control has no unsupported events, properties, or functions besides the Other event and the IMEMode property, it is listed in the Supported column. When there is an X in the Partially Supported column, see the second table for detailed information about which functions, events, and properties are not supported:
