DataWindow objects

A DataWindow object is an object that you use to retrieve, present, and manipulate data from a relational database or other data source (such as an Excel worksheet or dBASE file). You can specify whether the DataWindow object supports updating of data.

DataWindow objects have knowledge about the data they are retrieving. You can specify display formats, presentation styles, and other data properties to make the data meaningful to users.

You define DataWindow objects in the DataWindow painter.
