Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress 4GL Reference

> ## Attributes and Methods Reference

> This section describes each attribute, property, and method that Progress supports. Attributes, properties, and methods are all mechanisms that allow you to monitor and control the behavior of Progress objects, including widget and COM objects. For attributes and methods that apply to SpeedScript, see the "Handle Reference" section.

> Each Progress widget has a set of attributes and methods. Each COM object has a set of properties and methods. This section describes every widget attribute and method available in Progress, but describes only the COM object properties and methods that directly support the ActiveX control container technology in Progress. All other Automation objects and ActiveX controls that you access from Progress provide their own properties and methods. For more information on these, see the documentation that comes with each COM object.

> In this section, names of widget attributes and methods appear in all-uppercase, while names of COM object properties and methods, which follow Visual Basic coding conventions, appear in mixed case.

> This section begins by explaining the syntax for widget and COM object references. The basic syntax is similar for both widgets and COM objects. However, it has been extended for COM objects to support the unique features of Automation objects and ActiveX controls.

> Note: In character interfaces, all attributes and methods that reference pixels (for example, the HEIGHT-PIXELS attribute and the GET-TEXT-HEIGHT-PIXELS method) use a system default pixel value for the equivalent value in characters.
