Methods and properties exposed through Get/Put functions follow much the same pattern, at least from a syntax point of view. To declare a method you need to use the following notation:
<IMPLEMENTS TYPE=Automation ID=automation>
<METHOD name="methodName" internalname="functionName">
</METHOD>
</IMPLEMENTS>
Even in this case, name denotes the public name of the method while internalname—which is an optional attribute—indicates the name of the function that internally implements the method. A method called Speak would be coded this way:
<IMPLEMENTS TYPE=Automation ID=automation>
<METHOD name="Speak" internalname="DoSpeak">
</METHOD>
</IMPLEMENTS>
It will be called Speak externally but internally implemented in DoSpeak. By omitting the internalname attribute we assume that the internal function has the same name as the method. At this point there's no need to declare the prototype of the method.
