Re: [IDE] rename controls?

Judith,

I have the old and new name when the name is changed. The problem occurs
when the old name is part of another control's name. Example: user changes
PushButton2 to ExitButton. There is also a control PushButton21.
PushButton21 sometimes gets changed when it should not. I convert correctly
within setHandler events for the changed name. It may be wrong when the name
is within a procedure for another control or in the generic events such as
(General). I think I just need to do a little more work with my first
attempt to change the name and check the next position of the compared to
name.

Maybe I can get this in as a last minute addition to the next release after
all.

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.
