in-OLE-method

The _DO_ method invokes a method (with parameters) that is exposed by an OLE automation server. The number of parameters (in-parm arguments) needed varies among different OLE objects and methods. Only methods that have no return value should be used with the _DO_ method. For methods with return values, use the _COMPUTE_ method.

Example

The following example sends the AboutBox method to an OLE control, which displays the About Box for the control: 
    call notify('oleobj', '_DO_', 'AboutBox');
