Starting up 2022R11 in API 1 mode

How does one create a new project in the recent releases of Xojo while indicating we wish to use API 1 instead of the default, API 2? I know we can do this using a previous version of Xojo as the starting point, but I am hoping there is a way to do it without going through that additional step

There is a fix for the next Xojo release that will allow you to open an API 1 template and save the project in API 1.

68496 - Saving a template should not force update it the min project version to API 2

In a new project you can also search for ā€ždesktopā€œ and replace it with ā€žnothingā€œ (an empty replace field). Donā€˜t forget to activate ā€žShow Menu Barā€œ for Window1.

Until then there is a property setting that you can set manually that will show API 1 in AutoComplete.

I think this should be a project setting; in newer API-2-only projects I donā€™t want to see API-1 stuff.

I agree 100%. This would solve all my issues!

Would be nice to have a per-project setting with checkboxes to:

  • show API1 autocomplete
  • show API2 autocomplete
  • show API1 deprecations
    ā€¦

For example, if Iā€™m updating from API1 to API2, I may want to have both avilable. If Iā€™m staying in API1, I would prefer to keep API2 info hidden.

Requested and suggested before API 2 has been releasedā€¦: <https://xojo.com/issue/57885>
Status: Open :wink:

At least they have not ā€œarchivedā€ it.

But given Geoffā€™s comments on feedback and the fact that in 2.5 years they have not implemented it, I doubt it will happen.

Those who are interested should revisit this during the next beta phase to ensure that this fix works in the way they expect/desire.
