I just added the following to the VFP7 Wish List document, and am curious if there is any support for this request.
I would like to see VFP support mixed-case names throughout the IDE. For example:
the project manager currently forces lower-case to list prgs, forms, etc., even if these files are actually stored with mixed-case names
the table designer forces lower-case for field names
the table designer allows you to enter mixed-case index expressions, but then reduces them to lower-case
the property sheet (form designer & class designer) reduces custom property and method names to lower-case. It's nice that these are all grouped together at the end of the list, but how about allowing mixed-case, keeping them at the end of the list, and using a different color to visually distinguish them from the standard PEM's?
The class browser shows all class, object, property, and method names in lower-case.
etc.
I think developer productivity would be enhanced if mixed-case was supported in the IDE. For example, lWeLikeVisualFoxPro is a lot more readable the lwelikevisualfoxpro.
