Description
In PowerBuilder 7, you work with global structures in the Structure painter and object-level structures in the Application, Window, User Object, and Menu painters.
Usage
Whether you're working with global or object-level structures, you work with the Structure view, which is the only view available in the Structure painter. For object-level structures, you also use the Structure List view.
