How does one start a refactoring browser and what can it do?

HI All,

How does one start a refactoring browser and what can it do? Can it move an instance variable up from a sub-class to a parent (and not make a mess of code that uses it)?

I can only answer the second question at this time. The answer to it is "Yes". Of course, you will see a lot of error messages in the Transcript from the interim state(s) of the refactoring. When it is finished, it will be clean. (Technically, I should says "it should be clean"!)

Thanks Richard,

If you can remember how to get to the right place to do that I will be very grateful.

I will try to remember to see if I can find the details this evening. It wasn't something I really used, since my colleague integrated the RB functionality into the standard VA browsers. That's what I used for most of the nine years I worked at Geico.

However, if you load the two Refactoring Browser configuration maps (Model first, then UI), they add some menu items to the Transcript Tools menu. The one named "Refactoring Browser" would be a good bet. :-) [Actually, I checked. It is how you open it.]

Thanks Richard, I'll give it a try.
