Re: [IDE] rename controls?

Judith,

Yeah, I figured it probably wouldn't be easy to do.

Here's a suggestion that's not as good as "auto-change", but might be better
than nothing if it would work: make a right-click pop-up menu choice (Change
Control Name?), that would ask for a newname for the control that was
right-clicked on; that way, you'd have both the old control name & the new
one available, so you could search through all the events for the old one &
replace it with the new one.  Might not be so easy, though, to find any
references to the control *inside* procedures.
