how to create objects at powerbuilder Properties Bar

Question

Am using power builder 10.5. Am having a data window as a base object. And doing some base coding in it. I am having some Boolean instance variables in it. When i use this user object at base window , on the properties bar i can see the check box for the Boolean Variables which i declared on base user object. like wise for string a text box and integer data types. My requirement is to have an radio button and combo box in that bar. Do any one knows about this. For this how i want to code in the base object , so the developer can choose either one option, that will reflect in the base code.

Thanks and regards ~ Pushparaj V.(India)

Answer 1

We don't have any control on how the properties are presented.

Answer 2

Actually, there is a possibility: it consists in the undocumented property "descriptor" that one can add to a userobject property to tell how a property should be displayed / manipulated.

You can have a description in the (French) PBadonf thread about descriptors. It is my only information source, let me know if you need more info.
