What
is a C++ Class User Object?
A C++ class user
object is one of the non-visual types of PowerBuilder user
object. It has no visual component to it-there is no control
associated with it and it includes only variables and functions.
 |
Note that
you can only create C++ user objects with the Enterprise
edition of PowerBuilder, or using the Advanced
Developer's Kit. |
PowerBuilder
introduced the ability to create a C++ DLL from within
PowerBuilder in Version 4.0. Creating a C++ user object involves
linking your PowerBuilder application to a Windows DLL (dynamic
link library), and the Enterprise edition includes a selection of
tools to create DLLs as part of the Watcom Integrated Development
Environment (IDE). These tools include a text editor, resource
editor, debugger, compiler, linker and skeleton code generator.
They enable you to create user objects in PowerBuilder and
declare functions that are coded in C++.
