You can also set two additional properties for character columns on the Display property page: Case and Picture.
You can specify whether PowerBuilder converts the case of characters for a column in a DataWindow object.
To specify how character data should be displayed:
On the Display property page, select a value in the Case drop-down list:
Value |
Meaning |
|---|---|
Any |
Characters are displayed as they are entered |
UPPER |
Characters are converted to uppercase |
lower |
Characters are converted to lowercase |
You can specify that a character column can contain names of picture files.
To specify that column values are names of picture
files:
On the Display property page, select the Picture check box.
When the Picture check box is selected, PowerBuilder expects to find picture file names in the column and displays the contents of the picture file—not the name of the file—in reports and DataWindow objects.
Because PowerBuilder cannot determine the size of the image until runtime, it sets both display height and display width to 0 when you select the Picture check box.
Enter the size and the justification for the picture (optional).
