Removing ActiveX Controls from Forms (NFS 67595, JAD-I-530)
When an ActiveX control cannot be located and installed, you cannot run or edit the form on which it resides.
If an ActiveX control cannot be loaded when a form is opened for editing, the JADE Painter now displays a message box, prompting you to confirm that the load should continue. The message box displays:
The load of the control control‑name of type control‑type failed with an exception: error‑text error‑code
Click:
-
Yes to continue the load action.
The loading of the form continues and the control is marked as being deleted. The control and any event methods for the control are permanently deleted from the form when you save it.
-
No to abort the load action.
The form load is aborted and abandoned.
The form load cannot be continued if the control being loaded is on a superform or if the control would have had children.
The ability to delete controls from a command file and from the JADE development environment Class Browser will be considered in a future release. The only current work around is to extract the class and manually remove the control from the *.cls and *.ddb or *.ddx files.
