If you hack the vcx file(open as table, edit memo field manually), you can change the method names(PROCEDURE [methodname]) to a mixed-case setup. This mixed case will show up in Intellisense(VFP7 SP1). However, this doesn't help when I hack the table to do this for properties-- they're always lower()'d by Intellisense. Intellisense really is the key part to this horid mess-- this problem completely negates the increased productivity of Intellisense if you want to create clean, readable code code, as you have to go back and proper-case all your methods, properties, etc. If MS isn't going to give VFP's IDE the proper attention to fix such MINOR code issues, that have MAJOR impacts on the way we work, maybe they should just open up the source so we can fix them(I can dream, can't I?)...

>>Hello. I just got back into VFP after a 2.5 year hiatus(working with VC++ and VC# primarily), and the fact that VFP has all my methods and properties in lowercase(instead of mixed case for readability) is really starting to annoy me. Is there any way to use mixed-case for my custom properties and methods? I really can't think of a legitimate reason why MS would implement this limitation... Thanks.
