Objects

The Objects list displays a list of PowerBuilder objects and their attributes. In this case, object is defined as a class, and/or an object that one would see in a library list in PowerBuilder’s library painter. An object count and sums of numeric columns (e.g. size and source size) of the visible objects are available at the bottom of the list.
