I've been using RB for about 8 months. And it'll probably take at least another 3 or 4 years to develop something like UndoToolKit. In the meantime, I want to upgrade my RB to 2009. I used the trial version several days ago. And I noticed that UndoToolKit is dead under RB2009 R4. So should I switch to RB2009? Or should I stay with RB2008 where UndoToolKit still runs? Or is there a good alternative to UndoToolKit? I've read a topic where somebody mentioned UndoEditField. Does it run under RB2009? And I wonder how experienced RB programmers copy with undo actions. I don't really use apps that other RB programmers have developed. I've used Tomis' ImagePlay, which doesn't seem to have a working undo mechanism. Abandoning UndoToolKit and switch to RB2009 or staying with UndoToolKit... That'll be a tough call to make for me for now. Nonetheless, I don't use UndoToolKit in every app that I develop. Thank you for your advice. Tom _________________ Mac OS X 10.5.6/REALBasic 2008 R5.1 I say 'no' to MBS plug-ins. I boycott them.

Sooner or later you have to switch to a newer version. If you post the issues you have with the undo toolkit, I'm sure we can help. As for which undo mechanism to use you need to go into a bit more detail on what you want to do. Isn't the Undo Toolkit from Scott Forbes GPL?

Yes. "Old Style Constructor" and "Control uses a deprecated superclass" that RB2009 says for all and almost all undorable conrols. I mostly make use of undorable mechanism for the Editfield. _________________ Mac OS X 10.5.6/REALBasic 2008 R5.1 I say 'no' to MBS plug-ins. I boycott them.

I mostly make use of undorable mechanism for the Editfield. Sounds as if all the references to Editfields need to be switched to TextArea etc (oh, the pain this deprecation has caused....!) If Scott is still active, he may update the code himself. But at least you have the source code which can be upgraded. (If the class was encrypted, then you would REALLY be in trouble. Thats the real impact of deprecation: when something you rely upon can't be upgraded or changed. So many examples and public domain classes still use the pre- SpecialFolder syntax for Temporary folders and documents, fo example..)

TextArea... It's no wonder why I didn't understand what they were talking about in some of the posts I read. The name has changed, huh!?
