EclipseUI98 conversion notes

If you have EclipseUI98 projects that you would like to upgrade to EclipseUI99, then you should download the Converter program. This program will scan a Visual Basic project, and upgrade it to use EclipseUI99. Please read the notes below for more information on the upgrade—not all EclipseUI98 controls and functionality are available in EclipseUI99.
  • The tool is unable to preserve all bitmaps and long strings... always save a backup copy of all project files including bitmaps before using EclipseUI99 Converter.
  • The EclipseButton control has been removed. Existing EclipseButton controls will become Command Button controls.
  • The EclipseWave control has been removed. Existing EclipseWave controls will become Label controls.
  • The EclipseFolder control has been removed. Existing EclipseFolder controls will become EclipseBrowseBox controls with the IsFolder property set to True, and in most cases will still be compatible with your current code.
  • The EclipseResize control remains, but now the controls are sorted by alphabetical order instead of the order they were added. Do not use control arrays inside of EclipseResize.
  • The EclipseBar control has been simplified. It now has no style properties, and is always a gradient. It also repaints more quickly.
  • The EclipseDivider control has been added. Use it to add etched lines with optional captions above them.
  • The EclipseBrowseBox control has been added. Use it to replace EclipseFolder, using the IsFolder property, or use it as an attractive text box with an attached browse button.
  • The EclipseExtract control's ecExtractFile object has an UncompressedSize property. There is no CompressedSize property; this is due to a limitation of the CAB format.
