Request: auto-update methods when renaming an object

Postby david » Fri Sep 26, 2003 8:33 pm

It would be REALLY nice if when you renamed an object (a form, a button, etc), an option came up to update the name in all the methods where this object is used.

Alternately (or in addition to), a find and replace feature would be a nice addition to the method editor. Especially if you could find and replace through all the methods. And if it was regex based, even better.

I'm pretty good with my naming conventions but sometimes it would be nice to be able to go back and rename a few things. Right now renaming one of my custom controllers would break dozens of methods out of several hundred. So I have to live with my choice made way back in April when I had 5 tables instead of 50 :)

Global search/replace is planned for next version after 1.2, auto correct for methods is hardly doable...
