Working with edit styles

You work with edit styles in the Database painter and DataWindow painter.

Edit styles and the extended attribute system tables

When you place a column in a DataWindow object and give it an edit style (either the default style from the assignment made in the Database painter for the column or a style assigned in the DataWindow painter), PocketBuilder records the name and definition of the edit style in the DataWindow object.

However, if the definition of the edit style later changes in the extended attribute system tables, the edit style for the column in a DataWindow object does not change automatically. You can update the column by reassigning the edit style to it in the DataWindow object.
