Controls are considered outdated when a newer alternative is available.
Updating controls is required to effectively render your application user interface in HTML 5 document type (standards mode). Rendering your application in HTML5 document type ensures cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility and use of the latest HTML markup, among other benefits.
You can update a number of controls automatically. Other controls may require a manual update. For complete details, see the PDN article Upgrading deprecated and outdated controls.
If a section contains a deprecated control or a control for which there is an improved alternative, a warning displays, along with an Update Controls button.
Click Update Controls to automatically update deprecated controls in the section. Buttons with custom settings must be manually converted to use the pxButton control.
