Renaming controls event procedures

[frakno]

Hello everybody,
I want to change the name of Controls for better readability of the code.

What is the easiest way to do this?
I think my way to search+replace the current procedure name
and adjust the procedure name in object inspector is not the best one.

Thank you for an advice

Ctrl+A
Ctrl+J

Thanks, but this does not solve the necessary change of the corresponding Notification handler in the object inspector
respectively in the corresponding .lfm file

if i change in my unit with Ctrl+A Ctrl+J eg.   BenPnl_PwResetClick   to   PwResetBtn,
the   value OnClick   in   the .lfm file   and the   object-inspector-event OnClick   remains OnClick = BenPnl_PwResetClick

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.       object BenPnl_PwReset: TfButton
2.         Left = 370
3.         ...
4.         OnClick = BenPnl_PwResetClick
5.         ...
6.       end

and i get a compile error till i change the OnClick manually

Open the *.lfm files and use Find/Replace feature on your favorite text editor. Notepad.exe if you use Windows, or Gedit / Pluma if you're a Linux user.

open the .lfm file too:
right-click over the form/view source (.lfm)
then
Ctrl+A
Ctrl+J

You can rename procedure name in Object Inspector at Events tab. Then procedure will renamed in code too.
As for refactoring/rename identifier, there are few bugreports on this theme:
