Migration Guide : Migrating from Version 7.0 : Windows theme support interferes with some testing tools
Windows theme support interferes with some testing tools
 
In previous versions of VisualAge Smalltalk and VA Smalltalk, the CommonWidgets framework instantiated several custom window classes to provide additional functionality. Some of these custom window classes interfered with Windows theme support.
Change
In VA Smalltalk V7.5, the custom windows classes were removed and only standard windows classes are now used. The removed custom window classes are OSBUTTON (now BUTTON) and TEXTEDIT (now EDIT).
Action Required
This change may cause problems with automated GUI testing tools (such as Mercury WinRunner, HP Quick Test, HP Unified Functional Test) that depend on knowing the window class of widgets. If you experience failures of automated tests due to this change, you will need to modify your tests to reference the standard window classes in place of the custom classes.
