Partially supported visual controls for Windows Forms

Table 11-4 lists all PowerBuilder visual controls and indicates whether they are fully or partially supported in this release.

For many visual controls, the only unsupported event is the Other event and the only unsupported property is IMEMode. If a control has no other unsupported events, properties, or functions, it is listed in the fully supported column in Table 11-4.

When there is an X in the partially supported column, see Table 11-5 for detailed information about which functions, events, and properties are not supported.
