About the PowerBuilder window ActiveX

The PowerBuilder window ActiveX lets you display a PowerBuilder child window on Web pages viewed in a browser that supports ActiveX.

Features

The PowerBuilder window can include all the familiar controls, including DataWindows, OLE objects, OCX (ActiveX) controls, and TreeView controls. You can also open other (pop-up or response) windows from the child window.

As the user interacts with controls in the windows, scripts for the controls’ events are executed just as they are in standalone PowerBuilder applications. Additionally, you can call PowerBuilder functions and react to PowerBuilder events by coding VB Script or JavaScript within the HTML page.

Database access by the PowerBuilder window ActiveX application occurs using the client’s locally defined database connections.

The objects in the application can be contained in one or more PowerBuilder Dynamic Libraries (PBDs).

Supported browsers

The PowerBuilder window ActiveX requires use of a browser that supports ActiveX, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
