What Gets Modernized

Six native capabilities in PowerBuilder 2025 — each applied without touching your DataWindows or business logic.

UI Theme

RibbonBar Menus

Transform traditional menus into modern Ribbon-style navigation with auto shortcut toolbar and compatibility with UI Themes.

MDI in TabbedView

Display MDI child windows as tabs — LTR/RTL tab order, toggle via script, modern document interface pattern.

Autocomplete Dropdowns

Filter and select values in dropdown DataWindows and list boxes — configurable via script or property painter.

High-DPI & Multi-Monitor

Per-Monitor V2 scaling for crisp rendering on 4K displays and consistent positioning across multiple monitors.

DataWindow Modernization

Streamline DataWindow presentation styles, layout, and visual consistency using PB Studio AI-assisted workflows.
