Re: Is there a way to do this in the IDE?

I'm new to Delphi but there is one feature I can't seem to find (if it
exists). In Visual basic, once you declare a variable, you can type it
in later in your code and the editor will automatically change the
case to reflect the way it was declared. For example:
Dim A as string
a="hi" typed in would become A="hi"

I got very used to relying on that feature to catch typing mistakes.
Is there a way to do that in Codegear 2007?
No,
but I don't see the benefit of it since Delphi is not case sensitive.
Seems to be purely a style checker not anything.

Something like that would be a benefit in C/C++ or C# where
everything is case sensitive and a="hi" vs A="hi" really is
different.
