Properties | Events |
Describe or Format the object. Can be changed by code or poperty window. | Events "happen" when the user does something... |

|
Methods | Note: Blurry Methapors/Semantics |
Abilities are private/unique to a specific component and generally INITIATE AN ACTION as opposed to setting a characteristic | OCX designers have often blurred properties and methods semantically. For example, you may set an .action property to "dial" or "hangup" and then set off a .doaction method. |
|
The Help system details the properties and methods and events in detail. But here is a master list that gives you an overview of the Standard Controls and what they support.
