The toolbars in the PowerBuilder .NET IDE are somewhat different from the toolbars in the PowerBuilder Classic IDE.
In
PowerBuilder .NET toolbars:
- The PowerBar is now called the Standard toolbar, and includes additional functionality (navigation and search tools) from the Visual Studio isolated shell.
- The Standard toolbar includes buttons for building and deploying the current target in place of the buttons for building and deploying the workspace.
- PainterBars are now called by the name of the painters they support.
- StyleBar functionality is replaced by properties in the PowerBuilder .NET Window and DataWindow painters.
- There is a new Help toolbar that is supported by the Visual Studio isolated shell.
- There are two toolbars for the PowerBuilder .NET Debugger; one provides debug commands, and the other lists, and allows you to select, the process, thread, and stack frame of the application you are debugging. These toolbars use button images and functionality from the Visual Studio isolated shell.
- You can show all toolbars at any time, whether or not they are supported by the current painter.
- Toolbars uses drop-down lists for selecting targets to run and debug.
- The Toolbar Options drop-down arrow at the rightmost end of each toolbar allows you to add or remove buttons from a toolbar, reset a toolbar, and open the Customize dialog box.
You can also right-click anywhere in the menu bar or in any of the toolbars to select a toolbar to display and open the Customize dialog box.
For information on the Customize dialog box, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/52y65fyz(VS.71).aspx.l
- You can display text labels for individual toolbar items and change, edit, or reset their associated button images from the button context menus while the Customize dialog box is open.
The same functionality is available by clicking the Modify Selection button on the Commands page of the Customize dialog box while a toolbar button is selected.
The ability to display text labels on individual toolbar items provides for finer control of the user interface than in PowerBuilder Classic, where the Show Text command in toolbar context menus applies to all toolbar buttons and all toolbars.
