Hello;

How can we compile our huge application with toolkit 22.0 without renaming CXTPReportControl and it's related classes to CXTPGridControl?

I can't figure out how to get this done?

And, why did all this have to be renamed in the first place?

Because they dont care !

How is it possible to wake up one morning and change a class name that has been used for 14 years in over a million lines of code ...

Ftm i used this sh*t ...

#if _XTPLIB_VERSION_MAJOR >= 22

#define CXTPReportControl CXTPGridControl

#define CXTPReportRecord CXTPGridRecord

#define CXTPReportRecordItemText CXTPGridRecordItemText

#define CXTPReportRecords CXTPGridRecords

#define CXTPReportColumn CXTPGridColumn

#define CXTPReportRow CXTPGridRow

#define CXTPReportRecordItemNumber CXTPGridRecordItemNumber

#define XTPREPORTCTRL_CLASSNAME XTPGRIDCTRL_CLASSNAME

#define XTP_NM_REPORT_VALUECHANGED XTP_NM_GRID_VALUECHANGED

#endif

Good luck

Irenoux,

Guessing you may be correct. We have an issue where CJ changed their font (ttf) file so that it is incompatible with earlier versions. Now, when two CJ apps get installed on the same box, last install "wins" the font war. My post is so far unanswered.

However, CJ now says that posting on the forums is not how to get CJ's attention. One must use their support and file a support request.

Forums are for ... us only now (I guess). So, kudos to you for posting a solution to the renaming issue. I was about to say use #defines.

The problem is that my CJ support account has about 10 unanswered posts so far.
We have been using CJ since 2003 and I noticed that there was only support in the beginning. There hasn't been any for years.

I agree with Martin.

It is a shame that this fantastic toolkit does not have better forum support.

I'm still making faster, feature full, and better looking software using XTToolkit compared with my .NET colleagues.

But of cause fast support is important, and a deciding factor when selecting future tools. Having Codejock monitoring and commenting this forum would be a great help. Maybe spend the next month answering questions - and who knows, maybe some new features and improvement could arise from this.

I think the only path forward for this product is open source.. Maybe too late, don't know. Very few eyeballs on it at this point.
