Migration Guide : Migrating from Version 5.5 : Behavior changes for Application Builder parts
Behavior changes for Application Builder parts
In the course of adding feature enhancements in VisualAge Smalltalk V5.0, inadvertent changes were made to existing behavior. We have restored the original behavior as detailed below. For many customers these changes will not affect their current applications.
Container Details Column: For a container details column with the following properties set:
converter = String
emptyMakesDefault = true
defaultObjectFromEmptyString= <a blank character>
the column will no longer force you to highlight and delete the blank character before entering a new value.
Container Details Column: For container details columns the zero suppressed setting did not correctly suppress the zero in all cases. To have the zero appear change zero suppressed from true to false.
TextConverter: For converters that have the property emptyMakesDefault set to true and the defaultObjectFromEmptyString set to nil, you will no longer get a change event signaled when the value goes from nil to nil.
