Methods, like properties, allow your object to interact with the installation containing it. Methods, for all practical purposes, are functions. As a matter of fact, the only difference between a method and a function is the fact that a method is declared with the method keyword. Methods allow you to expose your object’s functions to other objects and setups.
Creating a Method
To create a method:
| 1. | Open the InstallScript view. |
| 2. | In the InstallScript explorer, right-click Methods and click Add New Methods. The Add New Methods dialog box opens. |
| 3. | Define your method’s settings. |
| 4. | Click OK. |
The Add New Method dialog box adds the following to your object script:
| • | A method declaration with the following syntax: |
method <method data type> <method name> (<argument data types>);
For example:
method STRING MyMethod( NUMBER, BOOL );
| • | A function block defining the method. For example: |
function STRING MyMethod( /*NUMBER*/ arg1, /*BOOL*/ arg2 )
begin
end;
