The PowerBuilder DataWindow was initially developed for use in client/server applications.
You can implement the PowerBuilder DataWindow as a control that displays a DataWindow object or as a DataStore that supports data retrieval and update without displaying the data. A complete set of events and methods programmed in PowerScript provides control over all aspects of the DataWindow, including data retrieval, display, validation, and update.
You can also deploy the PowerBuilder DataWindow as a component for use in distributed applications.
