Problem
When you call the graphic Form Painter or the PC Editor the following error message is displayed:
TD008: The graphic Form Painter is not supported on this frontend.
This error occurs under Windows 98 on a Release 4.0B system.The PC Editor automatically branches into the line editor.
The function module WS_QUERY was used in Release 4.0B to check, whether Active X controls are executable on the most current system platform. As of now, Windows 98 has not been taken into account when evaluating the delivered operating system.
Function module GUI_HAS_ACTIVEX is used as of Release 4.5A to check the use of Active X controls on the most current frontend, for example, the PC Editor.An explicit evaluation of the different platforms is no longer required.
As of Release 4.6A the function module GUI_HAS_ACTIVEX is used to check the graphic Form Painter.
Solution
The problem is corrected as of Relese 4.5A or 4.6A by using the function module GUI_HAS_ACTIVEX. In Releases 4.0B or 4.5B the correction is available as a Hot Package.
In urgent cases, the correction instructions included in the attachment can be implemented.
