    Resolved [RESOLVED] Some IDE questions

    I've been using VB.NET for quite a while but still find some "quirks" in the IDE:

    Suddenly one of my forms has no rules/lines separating the subs in code view. I guess I must have hit a secret key combination by mistake ... how do I get my lines back?

    How can I rename a form such that all references and filenames show the new name. I think when I've tried before I've ended up with perhaps the filename showing the new name, but the name of the form's class still showing the old name. Is there some global way to ensure everything gets changed?

    Is there a way to turn off the "highlighting" of a sub that occurs when you hover the mouse over the margin/dividing line to the left of the code? Because I have my IDE set to a black background I get a horrible bright flash.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: I should have said that I am using the Express edition ...it might make a difference.

    Not sure why you would want such a thing! Nothing threatens the sanctity of your code like renaming things!

    "Show procedure line separators" was already checked, but turning it off then on has fixed the problem. I only had one form without separators, the rest in the project were fine. Very strange.

    Yeah, I think I've got into trouble renaming forms before. I'll leave it alone ...

    Outlining mode > uncheck - that's what I wanted.

    Thanks (again) for your help!
