Summary of Changes

The major changes to the Microsoft FrontPage® 2000 Software Developer’s Kit include:

• A new Web object model for FrontPage.
  
  
• Additional support for custom FrontPage components, including client-side only features, Design Time Controls, COM Add Ins, and Active Server Pages (ASP).
  
  
• FrontPage Explorer automation, FrontPage Editor automation, and FrontPage To Do List automation are still supported in FrontPage 2000 for backward compatibility only; developers are encouraged to use the FrontPage Web Object Model to automate FrontPage 2000. The Explorer, Editor, and ToDoList functionality are supported through a single executable file, FrontPg.Exe.
  
  
• Menus in FrontPage 2000 can be extended through the Microsoft Office 2000 menu customization facility in Microsoft Office Visual Basic.
  
  
• Wizards and templates in FrontPage 2000 are configured and managed through registry keys rather than the INF and INI files used in the FrontPage 98 SDK.
