CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets
Hi all, Have any of you heard that Macromedia will be dropping CFGrid and other tags that are applet based (cfslider, cfselect, etc.even CFFORM!) in future versions? This was put out by someone in our company telling us that we need to recode all of our pages to remove these. Just wanted to get info about it before I fired back an e-mail to this person. It would be extremely helpful if people from Macromedia chimed in here. Steve [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

CFFORM and CFSELECT are most certainly *NOT* based on applets, nor could I fathom them ever going away, as long as CFML is alive. I wouldn't be surprised though to see the actual applet-based ones go away like CFSLIDER CFGRID, CFTREE, etc... - Rick [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets
reading a blog about MAX (Ben's I beleive) it was mentioned that the next version of CF would be using flash for these tags (CFGRID and CFTREE) rather than java HTH -Original Message- From: Rick Root [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 8, 2004 13:54 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets DURETTE, STEVEN J (AIT) wrote: Have any of you heard that Macromedia will be dropping CFGrid and other tags that are applet based (cfslider, cfselect, etc.even CFFORM!) in future versions?

RE: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets
Rick, I tend to agree with you about CFForm and CFSelect, but I included them because the person who notified me included them.

I don't know of any immediate plans to deprecate these tags.Do you know where he or she got this information?

Re: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets
It would seem logical to me if they replaced them with flash versions that have the same behaviour. Easier to maintain from macromedia's side and more compatible with the average windows setup nowadays.

Re: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets
At MAX, they showed some ideas the engineers were playing with. One featured the known applet-based tags implemented using Flash via FLEX. This was obviously a very rough demo, but it showed that MM was looking at the possibilities. I don't recall them ever saying that they were definitely using Flash instead of Java, or that the applet tags were definitely going away. The demos were all presented with the caveat that everything shown was speculative. -Kevin - Original Message - From: Mike Townend [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 7:58 AM Subject: RE: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets reading a blog about MAX (Ben's I beleive) it was mentioned that the next version of CF would be using flash for these tags (CFGRID and CFTREE) rather than java HTH -Original Message- From: Rick Root [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 8, 2004 13:54 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets DURETTE, STEVEN J (AIT) wrote: Have any of you heard that Macromedia will be dropping CFGrid and other tags that are applet based (cfslider, cfselect, etc.even CFFORM!) in future versions?

RE: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets
yea, on re-reading the entry it was a parameter switch that told it to be flash instead, its way too early to speculate if macromedia are to do away with the applets until they make such an announcment -Original Message- From: Kevin Graeme [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 8, 2004 15:42 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets At MAX, they showed some ideas the engineers were playing with.

RE: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets
I could be remembering incorrectly but I thought they showed that there was an option to use either flash or java, for backwards compatibility. Also, there were a lot more than just the existing tags.. whole forms and such.Very kewl stuff.

Yes, I was just trying to keep my description simple. I agree that it looked cool. -Kevin - Original Message - From: Samuel Neff [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 9:51 AM Subject: RE: CFGrid, CFForm and other cf tags that use applets I could be remembering incorrectly but I thought they showed that there was an option to use either flash or java, for backwards compatibility.
