The PowerBuilder DataWindow control is a container for database originated data in a PowerBuilder application. It can display the data and optionally let the user modify it and send changes back to the database. In addition to the DataWindow control, the DataStore object provides a non-visual container for server applications and other situations where on-screen viewing is not necessary.
