    - hasEvent()
      This function checks if an object defines an event.
    - hasMethod()
      The function returns TRUE when the specified method exists.
    - HOOK_aes_acknowledgeTableFunction()
      The system executes the function when you acknowledge an alert in the alert screen. Implement the function in a CONTROL library.
    - HOOK_ep_acknowledgeTableFunction()
      The system executes the function when you acknowledge a table (when you use the simple configuration). Implement the function in a CONTROL library.
    - HOOK_isAckable()
      The system executes the function when you acknowledge alarms. Implement the function in a CONTROL library.
    - hotKeyDialog()
      The function opens a window that allows you to select a hotkey for a shape.
    - hour()
      Returns the hour portion (0 to 23) of a time t.
    - html_ref()
      This function loads a reference into an HTML reference. The parameters will be replaced.
    - httpAccessLog()
      Creates an httpAccess.log file in the log directory and writes a log line for each HTTP request into the file.
    - httpCloseWebSocket()
      The function closes web sockets.
    - httpConnect()
      Registers a CTRL function as a Web resource
    - httpDisconnect()
      Remove a registered Web-Resource
    - httpGetAllHeaders()
      The function returns a mapping of all HTTP headers.
    - httpGetContent()
      This function extracts the content of the currently processing HTTP-Request.
    - httpGetHeader()
      Returns the value of the header (== key) of the last HTTP message.
    - httpGetLanguage()
      The function checks the stated client connection and returns a matching language ID. The function httpGetLanguageId() can be used to keep the same functionality but have a OaLanguage enum value returned.
    - httpGetLanguageId()
      The function checks the stated client connection and returns a matching OaLanguage enum value. This function provides the same functionality as httpGetLanguage(), but uses the new OaLanguage enum as return value.
    - httpGetMethod()
      The function returns the HTTP method of the last HTTP message.
    - httpGetPort()
      Returns the port and connection used for the HTTP request.
    - httpGetQuery()
      Returns the HTTP query elements as key/value pairs
    - httpGetURI()
      Returns the last from the Client (index) requested URI from the HTTP server.
    - httpMakeParamString()
      Returns a string from the passed arguments that represents the query part of a URL.
    - httpOnConnectionClose()
      The function starts the specified callBack function when the HTTP connection is closed.
    - httpParseDate()
      Allows parsing an RFC-2616 conform date string, e.g. from header "If-Modified-Since".
    - httpReadWebSocket()
      The function reads web sockets.
    - httpSaveFilesFromUpload()
      The function returns the HTTP content of a Blob variable that was received from an HTTP client via an HTML form. The function copies the content of this blob variable (a file) into a directory.
    - httpServer()
      Installs and activates an HTTP server.
    - httpSetMaxAge()
      Defines the time in seconds how long files should be cached by the client.
    - httpSetMaxContentLength()
      Sets the maximum length of a POST request.
    - httpSetMethodHandler()
      The function can be used to redirect an HTTP method to a user-defined CTRL callback function.
    - httpSetPermission()
      The function httpSetPemission() allows to define more fine grained user permissions for a specific URL used with the HTTP Server.
    - httpSetSecondaryAuthSuccess()
      The function is used to check for secondary authentification and implement a login delay.
    - httpSetUlcUserName()
      Sets the userName that will be used for the ULC_UX/ulc_ux_basics.html.
    - httpWriteWebSocket()
      The function writes web sockets.

hasMethod()

The function returns TRUE when the specified method exists.

Synopsis

bool hasMethod(string|shape object[,string methodName);

Parameter


Parameter	Description
object	The Control++ object.
methodName	Name of the method that is queried.

Return value

The function returns TRUE when the method with the specified name exists in the ScopeLib and is public. The function returns FALSE in all other cases.

Example

The Methods "outText" as well as the events "valueChanged" and "buttonClicked" exist in the ScopeLib of a reference.

#event valueChanged(int value) #event buttonClicked() public string outText()
                { DebugN("DP value queried"); }

In the reference that is used in a panel, in the event buttonClicked()the code

 bool b =
                hasMethod("PANEL_REF4","outText")

is used. Since the reference "PANEL_REF4" contains the method "outText", the function "hasMethod" returns TRUE.

void buttonClicked()


{


   float val;


   dpGet("System1:ExampleDP_Arg1.",val);


   DebugN("dpGet: ", val);


   anytype val2;


   val2 = val;


   TEXT_FIELD1.text(val2);


   bool ev;


   anytype a = invokeMethod("PANEL_REF4","outText");


   DebugN("Method outText Invoked");


   bool b = hasMethod("PANEL_REF4","outText");


   DebugN("Has method:", b);


}
