Adding table blob controls to a DataWindow object

Use the table blob control to add rich text, image, or XPS blobs to the DataWindow object.

If you use table blob control, you must deploy Sybase.PowerBuilder.NETInterop.dll (required for XPS blobs only) and pbrth.dll.

pbrth.dll is a standard PowerBuilder runtime DLL file and it is available in the runtime folder %systemdrive%\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Common\PowerBuilder\Runtime [version]; you can deploy it in the same way as other PowerBuilder runtime DLLs. sybase.PowerBuilder.NETInterop.dll is a .NET assembly and it is available in the %AppeonInstallPath%\PowerBuilder [version]\, and you can deploy it in the same directory as the executable file on the client machine.

Note

.NET Framework 4.8 must be installed to the client to support XPS blobs. You will have to manually package and distribute .NET Framework.
