Hi,
(This is really a question for Chris Pollach, Bruce Armstrong, Armeen Mazda, Light Zao and/or Julie Y.)
This is Appeon WEB not PB2017, but still relevant since we develop in PB2017.
I've evaluated Appeon WEB (not Pb2017) a year ago and things worked quite right, having an old version of pfc's. The version of Pfc's that Appeon distributes (up to today), with their example pfc (AFC) application is even older I think.
Now we are evaluating Appeon WEB again to see if we finally are going to offer Appeon WEB to customers since more and more want to be "on the cloud".
We recently migrated to a more recent version of PFC's (about half a year ago) and there are many incompatibilities and I'm having huge problems to simply show my mdi main menu toolbar. What I've done in a few days a year ago, has now costed me two weeks already and I still get random Internet explorer blow-ups, etc.
My point is, that I have until December to tell my managers if "we can make everything work in Appeon WEB" or not, so here's my question:
Is there any recent set of PFC's anywhere that would work with Appeon WEB? I know there are guidelines of modifying PFC's yourself (https://www.appeon.com/support/documents/appeon_online_help/1.5/migration_guidelines/ch02s06s01.html), but that's not really the ideal way of working, especially when you want to upgrade to newer pfc versions afterwards and most of all because it causes a lot of delay for someone to evaluate and decide on your WEB product.
I've dropped this question too on CodePlex in Github, but I think it's more a question for Appeon, since Appeon is saying that they will keep supporting pfc's: Hopefully that means they would at least update their sample application (AFC) to a more recent version.
Cheers,
Miguel Leeuwe
