Description _ tboudreau 1999-11-05 01:04:48 UTC
Does anyone else find that inconvenient?  It`s a field that will always have
to be changed (for buttons, labels, default values for text fields, etc.),
perhaps even more often than changing the variable name.  But the variable
name can easily be changed in the tree control of the Component Inspector.
The text label is pretty far down the list in the Properties tab.  I feel I
can type .setText("OK!");  faster than finding that field.


Would it be possible to add these sorts of highly used properties to the
right-click context menu?  That`s my initial thought of how this could be
made smoother.  I`d like to hear some other suggestions.
