The Directory OCX control NWDir abstracts the entire NDS tree, allowing for object searching, selecting, modification, creation, and deletion. It even allows for management of the NDS schema by providing procedures to create new object classes and new field-types, as well as tools for managing existing object classes and fields. This powerful control is probably the most important of all the Novell ActiveX Controls. Most programmers dealing with Microsoft products have a thorough understanding of the terms method and property . But for the sake of those who are new to the Visual environment, I'll define them here.
Property is an attribute of a control.
Method is a function that an object can perform. FindEntry and object. Both examples look similar, but one is a property and the other is a method. The first, object. FindEntry , is a method because it represents a function that the object can perform.
