What's New in V5-6R2019 in CAA V5 Automation Objects


This article presents Automation objects, methods, and properties that have been added since V5-6R2018 GA to enhance CAA V5 Automation capabilities, support functional evolutions and correct defects. Some of those modifications already exist on V5-6R2018 service packs. A few properties and methods have been modified or suppressed. VB and VBScript code using those methods may have to be modified. VB projects using the corresponding objects must be recompiled.

Consult About VB, VBA, Debug, and Portability for details on manual adjustments that may be required for existing VB/VBA projects to be usable on a new release.

Deprecated APIs can be found in CAA IDL API Deprecated Index.
