问题
PowerBuilder seems to have some support for plug-ins since version 10. However, I can't find any documentation nor tutorials about this. The only hints I can manage are by examining the COM objects inside the existing DLLs. It doesn't help much, but I'm a novice at COM development.
A very cursory example of how to do something would be awesome.
EDIT To clarify, this is related to my other question about SCC integration. I'm looking for a way to do a "Check Out..." on a datawindow control on a window more directly. The current procedure is this:
- Right-click on datawindow
- Click on "Modify Datawindow"
- Look at the PBL in the window title
- Close the datawindow painter
- Open the library painter / system tree
- Scroll to (and expand) the correct PBL
- Right-click on the datawindow
- Click "Check Out..."
- Open datawindow
This seems... sub-optimal. Maybe it'll be another reason to push for PB12 (despite other issues with the new IDE).
回答1:
Agreed. However, Sybase never released any documentation on the API.
The plug-in architecture was originally developer to support PowerDesiger as a plug-in. Given that
1) the latest version (12) will come in two flavors, one of them based on the isolated Visual Studio shell which wouldn't support the plug-in API and
2) that there was talk about doing away with the PowerDesigner plug-in because of a lack of interest in it
I wouldn't spend a whole lot of time trying to figure out how to implement something through it.

Maybe it would help if you described what it is you really want to do. There might be some other options about this.
