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")
When a class is designed, the author creates certain properties and
certain methods. When the author is asked: "What are the methods and
properties of your class?" the author is going to say: "These are my
methods and these are my properties." That's all RS is doing, and
it's really all under the hood.
