B4J Question Using XUI.SubExists in a Server project

[Alessandro71]

I have many classes that I use in cross-platform app projects that are using XUI.SubExists before calling CallSub.
I'm writing a Server project that will use the same classes.
I know I can't use XUI in a NON-UI project, so all XUI.SubExists are marked as errors.
I also tried to make my own XUI code module which redefines SubExists, but as soon as I type "Public Sub SubExists" the identifier is marked as error because it's a reserved keyword.
Is there any solution to this aside from wrapping each call like this?

#if SERVER
if SubEsists(module, subname) ...
#else
if xui.SubEsists(module, subname, params) ...
#end if

You can't redefine the method as you said, but you could give it a different name in a code module

Something Like:

Public Sub DoesSubExist(Module as Object, SubName as String, Params() as Object) As Boolean
#if SERVER
if SubExists(Module, SubName) Then Return True
#else
if xui.SubExists(Module, SubName, Params) Then Return True
#end if
Return False
End Sub

Not Tested and may need tweaking.

yes, even if it would require modifying all sources with xui.SubExists calls with STUBMODULE.DoesSubExist.
it kinda voids the main purpose of using xui.SubExists (cross-platform source).

The "sad" thing is that you can't use graphics in a server project (which is why you can't use XUI).

true, but out of scope in this issue (using existing code in server modules)
