CLASS MESSAGE...METHOD
Declare class message and corresponding method
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax:
CLASS MESSAGE <message name> METHOD <method name>
Arguments:
<message name> is the name of the message being declared. Like a
Clipper variable, up to 10 characters are significant. Extra characters
will be ignored.
<method name> is the name of the method to invoke when the specified
message is sent. A method of this name should be defined later in the
same module using the METHOD PROCEDURE or METHOD FUNCTION command,
unless an external method is being declared.
Description:
Declares a class message and corresponding class method. A class
message can be sent to a class object, as well as to an instance of
that class. See the section on Class Messages for more information
about class messages and methods.
This command is used when a method cannot have the same name as the
message which invokes it. If a message and its method have the same
name, the CLASS METHOD command should be used instead.
See the MESSAGE...METHOD command for more information about when a
message and a method cannot have the same name.
