Functions and Methods / Utility Functions

ImportDisabled

partFrame:ImportDisabled(unitName, majorVersion, minorVersion)

Called after an imported unit has been deactivated to perform housekeeping.

unitName

A symbol, the name of the unit.

majorVersion

An integer, the major version number of the unit.

minorVersion

An integer, the minor version number of the unit.

return value

Either the symbol 'ThrillMeChillMeFulfillMe or anything else.

DISCUSSION

The part should deal with the situation as gracefully as possible. For example, you could use alternative data, or put up a message slip with the Notify method and/or close your application.

If you return the symbol 'ThrillMeChillMeFulfillMe, the system attempts to re-resolve the imports. For example, if version 2 of unit foo is disabled and your package's *ImportDisabled script returns 'ThrillMeChillMeFulfillMe, the system looks for other versions of the objects in the unit foo.

COMPATIBILITY

Newton 2.0 OS sends this message, but ignores the return value.
