Methods
Actions that you perform on objects are called methods. The methods
available to an object are inherited from the class to which the object belongs.
For example, the CheckBox class defines the actions that can be performed
on all the check boxes in your application such as Check, Click and Toggle.
Methods defined for one class cannot be used to perform actions on a
different class. For example, you cannot use methods defined for the
CheckBox class to perform actions on objects in the PushButton class.
The following figure shows several methods defined for the CheckBox class:
