Welcome and thanks for responding to notice!
You're the first person (AFAICT) who has written in response to the
deprecation notice. My original intention was to remove it from the
5.2 release if we got no responses to that notice (that obviously
hasn't happened).
At this point the soonest release we could remove it from is 5.4
(which might be around Aug 2017). It's far from scheduled though.
We really don't have much data to base this decision on, so I'll ask
you instead. Knowing keeping support has an impact on LibreOffice
development, when do you think is reasonable for ActiveX support to be
removed?
IMHO ActiveX (aka COM) is a major technology in Windows, even if it will
not be developed further because of .NET. A lot of software packages
using this technology and I believe it will never be removed from
Windows. Even if it disappears completely from internet services it will
stay under the hood of Windows.
But I also thought in the late 1970's that Pascal is the best
programming language ever and will be the #1 in the future. Or when Java
was introduced that this technology will die fast. So don't give too
much on my opinion...
So I can't answer the question. If the automation bridge is removed, we
will stay with the last supported version of LO until we decide to get a
new ERP.
I didn't look into the code and I don't know how ActiveX is implemented.
But if it doesn't need to be touched when something in UNO changes, is
there a need to remove it?
What Windows version are you running?
Windows 7
Kind regards,
Bryan
