You place DataWindow controls in a window or user object and then specify the DataWindow object you want to use within them to display and manipulate data in the window.
A DataWindow object allows users to display, manipulate, and update database or other information. You build DataWindow objects in the DataWindow painter.
For information about DataWindow objects, see Working with DataWindows in Users Guide.
Obsolete functions
Several DataWindow control functions are described as obsolete, which means that although the function operates as usual in this release, it will be removed in a future release. You should replace all use of these functions as soon as possible.
