[Gambas-user] Deprecated controls and components

[adamn...@gmail.com]

Hi Benoît,

A few questions.

1. How are you marking a control as being deprecated e.g. LCDNumber?  It would 
be quite handy at the moment for us to do the same thing. We have a significant 
number of clean up work going on currently and I'd like to be able to mark some 
old custom controls the same way.

2. Similarly, how are you marking components as deprecated, e.g. gb.sdl? I note 
that deprecated components no longer appear in the selection list for project 
properties even though the source is still in the repo.  

3. The Embedder control is now deprecated, is there a replacement?

regards
bruce

Public Const _Group As String = "Deprecated"

In the project property dialog, "information" tab : set the component 
advancement to "Deprecated".

For components written in C/C++, you must update the *.component file by 
hand.

To see deprecated components in the component list, click on the little 
button located at the top left of the list.

No. This feature will disappear with Wayland I guess, so supporting it 
is worthless.
