According to Real Software, "Deprecated means that an item is no longer supported. Ir your projects require this item, you should find another solution.... One year after being deprecated, the item will be removed from Real Studio." In my own case, before TextArea and TextField appeared I used EditField (now deprecated?) in almost all of my programs. My guess is that the same is true of many other people on these Forums. Real Software says that we "should find another solution." What is "another solution" that people have found? And exactly how do people go about replacing EditField with something that will do essentially the same thing? (It is easy enough to remove an EditField; it is more difficult to put something in its place.) What solution have people on these Forums found? I've been doing some thinking about one possible solution. I haven't tried it out yet, but I would guess that it wouldn't be impossible to figure out how to manipulate programs saved as XML files to add and/or remove controls. It's a bit more difficult with controls, because the information on controls is in two different places in the Project XML file, but I believe it could be done. And changing the name of the control is something very easy to do; I changed the names of all the controls in a routine I wrote to "obfuscate" programs by switching around the names of controls. Before I spend a lot of time re-inventing the wheel, however, I'd like to know what other people here have done as a solution to this situation. Thanks in advance for sharing.
