Something like: mark control + F2 + write new name
Is there something like that
Windows Forms Data Controls and Databinding
If you are running Visual Studio 2005 or better you might try looking in the .Designer.cs or .Designer.vb file, scroll to the bottom and there you'll have a list of all of the controls on your form... from there you could click right click on each and choose Rename under VB.NET or Refactor->Rename to do so.
Not much easier... but at least there you've got an ordered list of what needs renaming.
Hi, RRRouter,
Based on my understanding, you want to find a hotkey for defining new name of a control, am I right
As far as I can see, there is not such hotkey exists in Visual Studio.
However, I think you can achieve your goal with Macro.
First, open your Macro Window with Alt+F8, right click on a Module and choose "New Macro".
Input the following codes
Public Module Module1 Sub Macro1() DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindProperties).Activate() End Sub End Module
Save this Macro, and then go to Option in Tool menu, you can set any hotkey to this Macro in Environment->Keyboard. Before using this Marco, please set the (Name) property as the selected property in Property Window.
Then you can click your control, click HotKey, and input the Name.
