Method References
The syntax for a method reference is similar to the syntax for an attribute reference:
The widget parameter is the name of a widget (UIC), or a widget or system handle. The method parameter specifies the name of the widget or handle method. You must leave no space between the colon (:) and its parameters.
Methods typically take one or more arguments. For example, the method ADD–FIRST(new–item) adds new–item as the first value in a selection list or combo box. Note that if a method takes no arguments, you must include an empty set of parentheses in the method reference.
Methods exist for windows, frames, and many widgets contained in frames. There are also specific methods for certain system handles. For more information on a specific method, see the Progress Language Reference .
