Binding DataWindow object to DataWindow control

When we create a datawindow object we can bind it to
datawindow control which actually i dont know to do, so i
have dragged and dropped the objects onto a window then the
source code generated is something like this

dw_window is my window
dw_1 is datawindow object on the window

forward
global type dw_window from window
end type
type st_1 from statictext within dw_window
end type
type dw_1 from datawindow within dw_window
end type
end forward

What this line of code specify?
type dw_1 from datawindow within dw_window

Is it that by dragging and dropping it automatically creates
a datawindow control?

And the other thing is by dragging and dropping the objects
on to the window by default it is taking the names which we
can see in the control list tab of forms properties can we
change the names? If so how?

Please give me the information at the earliest.

Hi Santoshi, you should take a class at Sybase education.

You may start here :

Since pb7, you can see objects properties in the right part of the IDE.
Open the window and click on the datawindow control.
With pb6 : right click -> properties

You can modify the name of the dw control using the "name" property.
Actually it is dw_1.

"dataObject" property is the name of the datawindow object. You can change it
using the button right to it.

You are from the VB world I presume.  Things are easier in
PB you will need to adjust to it.
