Lotus For Small Business

Special thanks to Declan Lynch for helping me on this one.

I had a case where I had renamed one of my custom controls in Designer and also changed its content. When I would go to drag it from the controls panel to the XPage it still had the old name. And, even weirder, it still had the old code! A rebuild didn't fix it. Neither did a clean or removing it from designer and then opening it again. Here's what I did to finally fix it (well.. Declan figured it out and I just followed his directions).

1) Rename the control to something completely different than anything else (I renamed mine from "content_Segments" to "somebs" ) .
2) The name displayed in the application\custom controls list can be different from the actual name of the control. Open it up and check its NAME in the properties. If they match you're almost golden.
3) Clean and Rebuild the workspace.
4) Name it to what you want it to be.
5) Check the NAME again in the properties.

So, what I learned was that the names in the Control panel (the one you drag and drop from) are built from the NAME property. And the ones in the App panel... aren't. Not sure where the names come from but they aren't teh same place it appears.

Hope this helps someone else.
