Modifying general DataWindow object properties
172 DataWindow .NET
❖ To change the default style properties:
1 Position the pointer in the background of the DataWindow object, display
the pop-up menu, and select Properties.
The Properties view displays with the General page on top.
2 Click the unit of measure you want to use to specify distances when
working with the DataWindow object:
• PowerBuilder units (PBUs)
• Pixels (smallest element on the display monitor)
• Thousandths of an inch
• Thousandths of a centimeter
Choosing the unit of measure
If you plan to print the contents of the DataWindow object at runtime,
change the unit of measure to inches or centimeters to make it easier to
specify the margin measurements.
3 Specify the number of milliseconds you want between internal timer
events in the DataWindow object.
This value determines how often DataWindow Designer updates the time
fields in the DataWindow object. (Enter 60,000 milliseconds to specify
one minute.)
4 Select a background color from the Color drop-down list and click OK.
The default color is the window background color.
Setting colors in a DataWindow object
