Chapter 16 Working with PowerBuilder


Designing for PowerBuilder

PowerBuilder is an object oriented development tool. Most of its components are designed as objects with properties, methods and events that can be mapped to UML classes as defined in an OOM.

PowerDesigner supports PowerBuilder objects stored in a .PBL file. Dynamic PowerBuilder Libraries (PBD) are not supported. You can map classes to PowerBuilder objects using specific stereotypes. Some PowerBuilder objects support full-featured mapping with an OOM class, some do not.

This section explains how to design PowerBuilder objects in the PowerDesigner Object Oriented Model.
