The Extract Method option is dimmed on the context menu when trying to extract a method from the following code:

Private Sub tbFuturesSeries_ButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs) Handles tbFuturesSeries.ButtonClick
If e.Button Is tbbSaveChanges Then
pSec.Focus() ' get focus off futures series datagrid so changes will be committed
SaveFuturesSeries()
ElseIf e.Button Is tbbDiscardChanges Then
DiscardFuturesSeries()
ElseIf e.Button Is tbbGenerateContracts Then
' START SELECTION HERE
Dim cancelled As Boolean = PromptToSaveFuturesSeries()
If Not cancelled Then
Dim success As Boolean = PerformAction("aGenerateFuturesContracts")
If success Then
MsgBox("Contracts generated", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Generate Futures Contracts")
End If
End If
' END SELECTION HERE
End If
End Sub

Reproducing the problem:
1. Select the indicated text
2. Right-click
3. 'Extract Method' option on CodeIt.Once menu is dimmed

I am using VB.NET 2003. I'm using version 1.0.258 of CodeIt.Once.

Hi Phil,

Thank you for reporting this. I passed this to the devs for troubleshooting.

I will get back to you as soon as I hear from them.

Hi Phil,

The feedback I got from the devs and that most likely you we trying Extract Method in a module that is not compilable - i.e. there is a syntactical error above the tbFuturesSeries_ButtonClick event procedure.

Can you please right-click over the "Private Sub tbFuturesSeries_ButtonClick" declaration line and see if "Rename" is enabled in CodeIt.Once menu.

Hi Serge

The code is compilable - I have just done a Rebuild All to confirm this.

However when I right-click over the "Private Sub tbFuturesSeries_ButtonClick" declaration line, "Rename" is not enabled in the CodeIt.Once menu either.
