Controls

The Controls list displays a list of controls (or other subclasses) that are contained in PowerBuilder objects (or classes) and their attributes. In PBL Peeper 7 or greater, this includes embedded non-visual object subclasses.

Fields

Control	The name of the control.
Containers	The names of the controls that contain the given control. If more than one control contains the given control, the control names are separated by a ` character.
Object	The name of the object containing the control.
PBL	The name of the PBL containing the object. The path of the filename is not included unless it is required to uniquely identify the PBL in the current application.
Ancestor	The name of the control’s ancestor.
Ghost	When resolve level is set to Controls or Scripts (see Preferences window), indicates whether the control is listed because the control is either declared or modified in that object (Ghost is No) or because the control is inherited from an ancestor (Ghost is Yes).
