Third-party control issues
CR# Description
621580 Cannot use resources from relative paths for third-party controls.

If you use resources, such as image files, for third-party controls, you must use full paths to identify them at runtime. You can use either full paths or relative paths to identify resources that you assign to PowerBuilder WPF controls.

621554 Double-clicking some third-party controls does not open the Script view.

The Script view does not open automatically when you double-click some third-party controls, such as RadCalendar, in a Layout view. This issue also exists in Visual Studio.

Workaround: Open the Script view for the window or parent control and select the third-party control from the top left drop-down list.
