PowerBuilder Plug-in Architecture

PowerBuilder seems to have plugin support since version 10. However, I cannot find any documentation or tutorials about this. The only tips I can manage is to examine COM objects inside existing DLLs. This does not help much, but I am new to COM development.

A very superficial example of how to do something would be terrific.

EDIT To clarify this, this is related to my other question about SCC integration. I am looking for a way to make "Check Out ..." in a datawindow control in a window more directly. The current procedure is as follows:

  • Right click on datawindow
  • Click "Edit Details"
  • Look at the PBL in the window title
  • Close the layout of the working window
  • Open the library / system tree
  • Scroll to (and expand) the correct PBL
  • Right click on the datawindow window
  • Click "Departure ..."
  • Open data window

It seems ... suboptimal. Perhaps this will be another reason to click on PB12 (despite other problems with the new IDE).

I agree. However, Sybase has never released any API documentation.

The plugin architecture was originally developed to support PowerDesiger as a plugin. Given that

1) the latest version (12) will be presented in two versions: one of them is based on the isolated Visual Studio shell, which does not support the plug-in API and

2) that there was talk of eliminating the PowerDesigner plug-in due to a lack of interest in it

I would not spend much time trying to figure out how to implement something through it.

Perhaps this will help if you tell us exactly what you really want to do. There may be other options.
