ObjectName.Method [arglist]

Description

Object methods are procedures in objects. The required component, ObjectName, is a valid object expression that refers to an object added to a program with an ADDOBJECT statement. The required component, Method, is the name of a FUNCTION or SUB procedure in an object, see below for a list of common object methods. The optional component, arglist, is a comma-separated list of values that are passed to the procedure as arguments. Calling a method in an object can change how an object is displayed, how it interacts, and the values of its properties.
