Description

Specifies the name of the component as referenced in code.

Use Name to change the name of a component to reflect its purpose in the current application. By default, the IDE assigns sequential names based on the type of the component, such as 'Button1', 'Button2', and so on.

Use Name to refer to the component in code.

Warning: Changing Name at run time causes any references to the old name to become undefined. Any subsequent code that uses the old name will cause an exception.
