The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The ReadMethod of an object can be used to return the text of a given method.
The ReadMethod is only supported when the class is stored in a visual class
library (VCX). Classes that are defined in code do not support the ReadMethod.
This also holds true for the following methods:

  ReadExpression
  WriteMethod
  WriteExpression

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

Run the following code:

     ox = CreateObject("myclass")
     ?ox.ReadMethod('mymethod')

     DEFINE Class myclass As Custom
        PROCEDURE mymethod
           WAIT WINDOW 'hello'
        ENDPROC
     ENDDEFINE

The ReadMethod does not return anything.
