Return Values

Character, Currency, Date, DateTime, Numeric, or Logical

Parameters

  • oObjectName
    Specifies the object for which a property value or event or method program code is returned. oObjectName can be any expression that evaluates to an object, such as an object reference, an object memory variable, or an object array element.
  • cClassName
    Specifies the class for which a property value or event or method program code is returned.
  • cProperty
    Specifies the property whose value is returned.
  • cEvent

Remarks

In Visual FoxPro 6.0 and later, using GETPEM( ) to return method code is supported only during an interactive Visual FoxPro session. You can, however, obtain method code from an object by using its Class property, as in the following code:

LOCAL oObject, lcCode
oObject = NEWOBJECT("_form", HOME()+"ffc\_base.vcx")
lcCode = GETPEM(oObject.class, "Release")
