Duplication of forms

Classic Servoy

Perhaps I’m missing something obvious. I have a form whose current name is quite misleading. I really just want to rename the form. An available command doesn’t seem to be available. Therefore I’ve duplicated the form, giving it a proper name.

However it’s just the form. None of the methods have been duplicated. Would it be possible to have the option of duplicating the associated methods and property assignments as well?

Hi Morley,

No need to duplicate the form. You can do one of two things:

  1. Change the “titleText” property - which will change the name that is displayed when the form is openend (in both client and developer);

  2. Change the “name” property of the form to whatever you want.

WARNING: If you change the name of the form (#2 option ONLY - NOT applicable with option #1), and you have methods that reference the old form - you need to go into the methods editor and do a search/replace for the old/new name.[/b]

Hope this helps,

Bob Cusick

Thanks. Until you posted this, I was unaware of the Find/Replace routine. Not sure why, just wasn’t.
