Tooltips, Tooltips, Tooltips!!!There seems to be an awful lot of questions lately concerning tooltips.
For those of you who don't read comp.soft-sys.powerbuilder on a regular
basis and don't pay too much attention to multiplatform b.s. for client
applications here is a link to an excellent Rui Cruz's "Tooltips"
implementation using comctl32.dll
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/3889/ . It is going to be a
little trickier to make this thing work with Datawindows, but not too bad
:-)) (BTW, Rui has a lot of other useful stuff there).
For those of you who pay attention to multip...

Hi,
on Sybase CodeXchange there is a "Datawindow Tooltip Service". Or you can
upgrade to PB 11.5 which has that native.

Powerbuilder DatawindowHello,
Can you do a Datawindow in VS 2005 without using
Datawindow.NET just by using common controls i.e DataGrid
etc.
Thanks
Chris
What would you use the DataWindow for then? To retieve the datawindow
into a datastore and then attempt to use it to populate the DataGrid?
I've heard of people who want to have their cake and eat it too, but
it sounds like you want no cake but you want to eat it...

Multiline Tooltip
Hello,
I am trying to find a way to have a multiline Tooltip for an Server Side Image Control
Also the tooltip will be created dynamically (Depending on the data in the DB)
My end result would be
Title
Product1 Date1
Product1 Date2
Product1 Date3
Product1 Date4
Anybody has an idea, or another possibility to create the equivalent.

Powerbuilder datawindowHi!
I'm importing a some data into my application. The way I do this is to
insert a the rows into a datawindow and then do an update() on the
datawindow.
If a row in the database allready exists with the same primary key as I have
inserted into the datawindow, what will happen then? Will then datawindow do
an update or will I get an error?
I'm doing this on a datastore object. How can I get an errormessage from the
datastore? I have tried the errormessages and codes from the transaction
object (sqlca.sqlerrtext and sqlca.sqlcode).

Maybe its a single feature.
Maybe its a new category of functionality.

PB only tooltips for datawindowsDoes anyone have suggestions/code for a PB only dw tooltip implementation? I
have seen some already using comctl32.dll?
A typical implementation is to use mousemove and timers to determine how
long the cursor is over an area then to show a small child window which
contains text taken from the tag of the column the cursor is over.
I did that a while back for a client but don't have the code for it anymore.
If you haven't already, go to groups.google.com and search for Powerbuilder

posted snippets ...
powerbuilder treeview tooltiphello,
I've some treeview objects on the right side of the screen.
the problem is: when the mouse is over the items of these treeview i
can't see the entire tooltip cause this expands on the right and go
out of the screen. how can I show the tooltip on the left instead on
the right?
Thanks
What version of PB are you using? It seems to me that PB should be smart
about this.
I'm not sure if there is a built in solution. One other solution would
be to roll your own tooltip. There are tooltip examples on the web.

Printing a Datawindow in PowerBuilderI have some problems properly printing a datawindow in PowerBuilder. When I
print a document the printer will print the top half of the ast line on the
third and bottom half of the line on the fourt page.
In my datawindow I only have aboout four fields but the last one is a SQL
Server "TEXT" field, so this field can store many pages of information.
In the PowerBuilder Data Window I have the field set to auto size height.
Another thing I have noticed that it prints differently on different
computers, meaning it may print fine on one computer and not on another.

Hover/ToolTip on datawindowsI am using 8.0.2. Is there a way to get the toolbaritemtext functionality

name would display the phone number, department, et.cet.

PowerBuilder DataWindow #2Hi all,
I have a requirement to implement a master-detail sheet. That's ok.
However, based on the user-logged-in credential, the user may OR may
not be able to edit the details part.
Now I can easily implement this by adding a constraint while updating
the details' data.
if user_can_edit then
update
end if
The problem is this:
If the user is not entitled to make changes, he is still able to put
focus to the details' form data and modify (of course I am not
updating it)...but the user can get a feeling "oh I am able to modify
the data".
Is it so...
Powerbuilder Datawindow Painter.We have developed an application that allows user to create custom data
entry windows using

who are non IT
people. The problem we have is that dw60.exe is distributed with the
Powerbuilder but not sold
as a separate purchasable product. After discussions with Sybase
representatives we have each
user purchase a copy of Infomaker to make them 'legal'. We are not
totally happy with this
situation as we move forward to PB 8 also we are not sure if there is a

MultiLine Datawindow ControlI was wondering if anyone knew how to implement a multi line edit control of
variable height. In otherwords, as the user types in this control, I would
like the control to increase in height for each new line. I tried using the
autosize height but this only changed the height when the control lost
focus.
Any ideas ?
It's not an ideal solution as it means that validation is done after every
key stroke, but putting AcceptText() in the editchanged event will achieve
this.
