Calling Methods
Go Up to Working with Components Index
Methods are called just like ordinary procedures and functions. For example, visual controls have a Repaint method that refreshes the control's image on the screen. You could call the Repaint method in a draw-grid object like this:
DrawGrid1.Repaint;
DrawGrid->Repaint;
As with properties, the scope of a method name determines the need for qualifiers. If you want, for example, to repaint a form within an event handler of one of the form's child controls, you don't have to prepend the name of the form to the method call:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Repaint;
end;
void __fastcall TFrom1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
Repaint;
}
