I've been away from REALbasic for a while, and now when I load an earlier RB program into the current version of RB (RB2009r5) I get some sort of "deprecated" message that seems to be related to EditFields. How do I fix it? Thanks in advance for the help.

In almost all cases there is a newer type control that replaces the deprecated one. Recent example... the EDITFIELD is deprecated as of RB2009r4... and replaced with TEXTEDIT and TEXTAREA. So... older RB code just needs to be brought up to the standards of the latest version... and most times RB will convert the code for you. But exactly how do I bring my older RB code up to the standards of the latest version? Do I actually remove the EditFields, replacing them with some newer control? If so, does that mean that the code that was associated with the older EditFields have to be all rewritten, or is there an easier way to keep (or modify if necessary) the code? How do I get RB to convert the code for me? Is this covered in the current documentation?

Or you can ignore it for now..... They are only in Deprecated status.... not yet Obsoleted. Note : this seems to only fix the actual controls themselves... If you have methods where you pass it a control by type... you will have to edit those your self.... And trust me the compiler will be quick to point them out to you. Something like this Function xyz(obj as EditField) this line will not be "resolved".... but the actual physical objects in your windows will be _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX 10.5.8 RB2009r2 Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 3 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
