Removed APIs

All the APIs removed from Symbian^3 are listed with changes required for the existing applications to work on Symbian^3.

The following list summarizes the removed APIs:

APIs Affected headers and libraries Description
CDMA Support etelcdma.dll, etelcdmautils.dll, and cdmau.dll. All APIs related to CDMA are removed. Device manufacturers who want to have Symbian-based CDMA products, must have their own CDMA implementation.
CFontStore::RemoveLinkedFont(), CFontStore::IsValidLinkedFontSpecification(), CBitmapFont::FontWithCharacter(), CBitmapFont::IsLinkedFont(), CBitmapFont::LinkedFontInformation(), CBitmapFont::NextFontClientSpace(), CLinkedFontInformation, CLinkedFontSpecification, CLinkedFontForCache, and COpenFontForCache. openfont.h and fntstr.dll All these linked font APIs have been removed. Remove all references to these APIs and rebuild the applications.
Application Engines
  • Word Engine (wngmodel.h, wngmodel.inl, and wngdoor.h)

  • Sheet Engine (shgapi.h, shgerr.h, shgpanic.h, shgcoord.h, shgtoken.h, shgfmlex.h, shgfmevl.h, and shgfmvwr.h)

  • Chart Engine (chtstd.h and chtstd.inl)

  • Text to Word Converter Engine

  • Data Model Engine

wpeng.dll, sheng.dll, chart.dll, and txtword.dll. All these application engines are removed. Remove all references to the relevant APIs and rebuild the applications.
