Convert local var to Field

[TheDelphiCoder 2]

Hi,

 

is there an option to convert a local variable of a method to a field of the current class or record?

I can only find AddField, and the context menu option "Conversion -> convert to Field" is disabled...

AFAIK, that is not implemented. Local variables are no items in the explorer tree (like fields, methods or properties) and the Convert to Field action can handle only explorer items. This means that implementing such a functionality is not trivial.

 

A workaround would be place the cursor at the first assignment of the local variable and use <Strg>-<Alt>-F to add a new field. In most cases the type is automatically detected. Either before or after that just delete the local variable manually.

Thanks for your suggestions, Uwe
