About Object Method Nodes
An Object Method node is a child node of an Object Type node. It represents a member method in the object type. A member method can be a procedure or a function on a constructor of the Object Type.The node is named after the method. Overloaded methods in the object type have the same name. Overloaded constructors in the object type have the same name. Specific icons indicate if a method is a function or procedure. Object methods of the base type that are overridden in the derived UDT type are displayed, but those that are not overridden are not displayed.
