Obvious need, right?
I haven't ever used VS, but I've never found myself needing the feature you describe. This would be difficult to implement generally, I imagine. Thisform is evaluated at runtime and not design time. How is VFP, at design time, supposed to know which form definition is the one to look for the method? (Could be you are modifying a generic container that gets placed on a form elsewhere by different code). >> Even if you click "Look Up Reference" it won't even find it because the form >> is open and it doesn't search in open forms. > > I like the Find All References as well.

You have unit tests set up, of course! :) Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
