Front calls changes
Modifications to consider when using front calls.
Desupported front-calls
The following front-calls are desupported, as a consequence of common Universal Rendering using
GBC on all front-ends (there is no more Native Rendering mode):
- Standard front-calls
getWindowId
mdClose
setWebComponentPath
shellExec
feInfo
options:dictionariesDirectory
feName
: Useui.Interface.getFrontEndName()
instead.iccid
imei
isActiveX
numScreens
- GDC WINCOM, WINDDE, WinMail front-calls: Use Apache POI instead.
Changes in earlier versions
Make sure to check the upgrade notes of earlier versions, to not miss changes introduced in maintenance releases. For more details, see Front call changes in BDL 3.20.
Notable changes introduced in maintenance releases:
- monitor.update parameter for elevation prompt (GDC only), also available in GDC 4.00.01.
