I’m sure this has been asked before, but is there any way to stop autocomplete from pushing API2 on me?
I’ve been trying to keep a set of code pure API1 for backward compatibility but I’m finding autocomplete is fighting me every step of the way.
I have no Desktopxxxxx controls anywhere in my project, yet if I have a listbox, the autocomplete only shows me events and properties of a DektopListbox.
And Xojo has seemingly removed API1 references from the web.
Yeah, by modifying the preferences file.
~/Library/Preferences/com.xojo.xojo
IIRC the entry is “Show Deprecated Autocomplete Items”.

Cheers Sam!
Sorry to wake a dead thread, but, there’s a setting in the preference dialog that changes this setting without need to modify a file. It’s on the code tab “Autocomplete > Shows deprecated items”.
And… how do you read the deprevated documentation ? 
You open an older IDE and check the offline documentation.

If one also have an old computer to do so.
Not for m class of macOS running computers 
I use the downloaded html docs of previous versions, and SimpleLRBrowser (Source should still be found) for Version 2019r3 and before.
