AFAIK and if I understand correctly, the IDE already do what you want, perhaps partially. BTW, I agree that Name property must not trigger filed rename refactoring. For many frameworks, Name property for components is important and need to be different from field name. I don't know your form files, but take a look at 'Set Component Names' property of your form. It keeps the Name property and field name linked and the property is updated if field name changes. Another think that should be looked is that just changed properties has its names in bold in Properties view, what is a interesting behaviour that I like so much, and I think if Name property could be placed in the top of Properties view, it would be nice. |
