When is something a property and when a method?

Take the ListBox class as described in the LR


Cell is said to be a method

ListBox1.Cell(1,2) = "Dog"



CellType is said to be a property

ListBox1.CellType(1,3) = True



The syntax of their use seems to be the same. What makes one a property and the other a method? Its seems strange to me that you can assign a value to a method. (ListBox1.Cell(1,2) = "Dog")
