A few days ago I added a new property on a form and now I've forgotten exactly where all of the references (both read and write) to that property are (various controls contained by the form could reference the property).

Surely this is a problem that comes up all of the time for developers and maintainers of apps built with VFP, so how do you solve it.

What is the efficient means by which you search for all references to an object which is referenced by other objects?

I understand that with name reuse, one might have to manually filter a list of such references according to scope ... but surely there is some way to automate the raw name search. And, though I know it may be too much to hope for, is there a way to automatically search for only those references that are scoped by either class hierarchy or containment hierarchy?
