GETPEM( ) Function

Returns the current value for a property or program code for an event or method at design time.

GETPEM(oObjectName | cClassName, cProperty | cEvent | cMethod)

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
    Specifies the event for which program code is returned.
  • cMethod
    Specifies the method for which program code is returned.

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")
