About this Article:

Have you ever found yourself in this situation? You're working on an application that was originally written by someone else. It has several dozen forms, many of which have multiple controls. The original author renamed the controls only sporadically. As you modify and improve these forms, figuring out which control you need to address is a real problem. Renaming the controls manually and making the corresponding changes to the form's code is extremely tedious. Here's a tool that will handle this for you.
