Porting ClassAct to Reaction - is there a guide?

I know Reaction is ClassAct and is largely compatible but is there any guide anywhere for developers explaining how to update to Reaction apart from just changing classact.h to reaction.h ?

@NinjaCyborg

Well, a couple of things have changed since ClassAct times. One of my articles does not provide a comparison of the two toolkits, but it may still give you some useful hints.

Try here if some tutorial help, somehow:

os4coding.net:

And on os4depot:

Thanks. Does it boil down to::


- change all CA_ functions to RA_
- link to reaction.lib not classact.lib
- change all CLASSACT_ enums to REACTION_

did any gadgets change name or get deprecated?

Technically these are macros, and they wrap around respective IDoMethod() calls that invoke the classes' methods. I personally prefer to call the methods directly.

Quote:
No, reaction.lib is no longer used! Most of its functions have been incorporated in the relevant classes.

Quote:
Not sure what enums you mean, but possibly yes.

One other difference is that you don't need to call the various _GetClass() functions to obtain the class pointer.

I suggest you do read the docs linked above, it will get you on track.
