Consistency is important. When I'm naming something, I use an old technique that tells me right away what the object is by pre-pending 3 letters of the object type to the object goal, in camel case.
Code: Select all
if characters 1-3 of the short name of control x = "txt" then put empty into control x
// clears the field
The dictionary is definitely a great place to start. I read through the "layer" entry a couple times, but I probably never would have thought to search "number". I'd say that "number" should be added in the related section of the "layer" entry in the same way that "layer" IS in the related section of the entry for "number".
That really is good advice, but I would say that if you really want to use a number, spell it out, i.e. [txtOne]. Otherwise, only use them to differentiate when you hit a naming block, like [txtName1][txtName2] etc.

Of course, my dictionaries are quite old So I went and looked in the newer one... All joking aside, though, yes the dictionary and help guides *are* great to look in but unless you have some idea of how the language works, they can also be an exercise in frustration If you get stuck for the words to look for, I'd say feel free to drop in and ask (lord knows I did ). Likely as not, someone else has asked the self same questions and will guide you alongAnd the Lc Dictionary wrote: layer

Indeed it is. Not sure how I missed it. I must have only looked at the properties, as that's kind of what i expected it was.
Changing the layer of an object also changes its number property.
Why would you have to be forgiven? Of course it says that, which is why I said way up there -ClipArtGuy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 29, 2018 11:39 pmEDIT: Which I guess I could be forgiven for, considering the last line of the description saysChanging the layer of an object also changes its number property.
...and so we've come full circle
