This month we take an
in-depth look at the new
features introduced or
existing features
enhanced in PowerBuilder
10.5. Even though it is
not a full point release,
it (like 6.5) is a full
major release. In order
to get many of these ...
One new long-anticipated
feature of PowerBuilder
10.5 was originally
planned for the
PowerBuilder 10.0
release: the new Rich
Text Edit (RTE) control.
The original RTE control
(see Figure 1) was
introduced into
PowerBuilder before ...
One of the long awaited
features introduced in
PowerBuilder 10.5 is
support for contemporary
(aka Office XP) menus and
toolbars. The first
difference you'll notice
is that the flat
contemporary style and
new icons are used
extensi...
Two things have my
interest these days: the
arrival of PB 10.5 and
TechWave 2006! (Yes,
that's right, I'm already
planning ahead.) So, I
thought I'd take this
opportunity to roll a
little application using
MS MapPoint to illustrate ...
In addition to the other
new features in
PowerBuilder 10.5 that
we've covered in this
issue, there are a number
that do bear mentioning
but aren't significant
enough to merit a
separate article. I've
grouped them together in
this ...
After continually
reinstalling my
PocketBuilder
application, ASA, and
PocketBuilder on my
Symbol handheld scanner
unit each time I rebooted
the unit, I felt 'enough
is enough...'
PowerBuilder 10.5 is
almost ready, and I'm
sure you have a lot of
questions about what's in
the release and how it
can make your job easier.
You are also probably
wondering why it's called
'10.5,' how it fits in
with our roadmap for...
One of the 'new' features
in PowerBuilder 10.5 was
actually initially
introduced in the
PowerBuilder 10.2
maintenance release. The
folks at Sybase finally
addressed a number of
fundamental issues with
database tracing for
deployed applications.
One of the first things
you'll notice when you
open up the File -> New
-> DataWindow dialog is
the new TreeView
DataWindow presentation
style (see Figure 1). The
first thing you'll
actually notice is that
all of the IDE icons have
