Creating library entry reports

Library entry reports provide information about selected entries in the current target. You can use these reports to get printed documentation about the objects you have created in your target.

StepsTo create library entry reports:

  1. Select the library entries you want information about in the List view.

  2. Select Entry>Library Item>Print from the menu bar, or select Print from the pop-up menu.

    The Print Options dialog box displays.

    Shown is the Print Options dialog box. At top is an area labeled Application with check boxes for Explosion and Scripts. Below it is a Menu area with check boxes for Attributes and Scripts. At right is a Window / User Object area with check boxes for Properties, Picture, Scripts, Controls, Control Attributes, and Control Scripts. All the check boxes are selected. A text box for Copies at far right displays the entry 1.
  3. If you have selected the Application object or one or more menus, windows, or user objects to report on, select the information you want printed for each of these object types.

    For example, if you want all properties for selected windows to appear in the report, make sure the Properties box is checked in the Window/User Object group box.

    NoteThe settings are saved PowerBuilder records these settings in the Library section of the PowerBuilder initialization file.

  4. Click OK.

    PowerBuilder generates the selected reports and sends them to the printer specified in Printer Setup in the File menu.
