PRB: ReadMethod Only Returns Method Text From Visual Class

ID: Q190547

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

The ReadMethod of an object can be used to return the text of a given method. The ReadMethod is only supported when the class is stored in a visual class library (VCX). Classes that are defined in code do not support the ReadMethod. This also holds true for the following methods:

ReadExpression
WriteMethod
WriteExpression

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Run the following code:


   ox = CreateObject("myclass")
   ?ox.ReadMethod('mymethod')

   DEFINE Class myclass As Custom
      PROCEDURE mymethod
         WAIT WINDOW 'hello'
      ENDPROC
   ENDDEFINE

The ReadMethod does not return anything.
