How to rename a project?

Create a new project with the desired name

1. Make sure the Form size (Proporties window) of the old project and the new project are the same.
2. Copy the content of the Form, not the Form itself but the elements on the Form of the old program. (click on one element then Ctrl-A then copy)
Paste the copied content on the Form of the new project.
3. Copy the program code page belonging to the Form of the old project.
Paste the old code page content on the new project code page of the new Form.

And ready you are.

When there are multiple Forms, repeat the above procedure for each Form.
