A property of an object is like a variable: it returns a value but it can also be set to a value.
A method of an object is an executable procedure that returns a value. It cannot be put to the left of an assignment. Please have in mind that method can be called in two modes:
a/ Method_name (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3)
b/ Return_value = Function_name (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3)
A standard method of an object is an executable procedure that returns one of the following numeric values:
Value |
Constant |
Description |
0 |
EOK |
Success |
1202 |
EFAILED |
failure due to an error - e.g. a database access error. Usually when a function returns this value it also displays an error message |
1013 |
ECANCELED |
the operation was canceled by the user - i.e. the user canceled a dialog or aborted in some way the operation. |
Note
The constants may not be available in all classes of add-ins.
