Introduction

Properties, methods, and events are the three types of functions you can apply to an ActiveX control.

The distinction between a property and a method is not always obvious but can be clarified by the following statements:

Let variable = method is generally legal syntax. Let method = variable is not.

Both Let property = variable and Let variable = property, however, are legal constructs.

An event is a function triggered within your application by an ActiveX control to which you can respond.


Note
The properties, methods, and events listed in this chapter include those designed for Pervasive's ActiveX interface. In addition, you may see other properties, methods, and events associated with a control which are provided by the development tool (for example, Visual Basic). Consult the documentation of your specific development tool for information.
