Using the Project painter

You use the Project painter to create and maintain PowerBuilder projects that build all these different objects. The Project painter allows you to streamline the generation of the files your target needs and to rebuild easily when you make changes. There is a wizard to help you set up each project type.

The following table lists the types of projects you can create and what you can build using the project.
