UI editor: allow replacing similar controls

[Wolfgang]

Hello,

once in a while, typically when creating a new UI, I find myself playing with different control styles, e.g. ring or menu ring, or different types of decoration (classic vs. lab style...).

Unfortunately, it is not possible to easily replace one type of control with one of its relatives: I imagine an additional command in the right-click popup menu: below 'Edit Control' I'd like to have a 'Replace Control' command which permits replacing e.g. a 'Recessed Narrow Frame' with a 'Recessed Box', keeping location, size and z-plane order (in general, as many attributes as possible)

Thanks for consideration.

Doesn't something like this already exist as the "Control Style" option in the "Edit" menu?

You are completely right!!

So why didn't I find it - probably because of me not having used this command before.

In order to save a little fragment of this suggestion: add this command to the right click popup menu, too, in order to make it easier finding/using the command.

Thanks for pointing me to it!
