Subject: Re: why the object doesn't respond to its method?

Hi Thomas,


Thank you very much for the detailed explanation.

It is my understanding from your reply that I should look for 
ole_get_methods for the methods of "getter" and look for ole_put_methods 
for methods of "setter".

Question 1: In the following scripts both getters and setters have 
method "Voice" but respond_to?() responses to both of them as "fasle". 
It seems to me that respond_to?() cannot detect the methods in either 
getters or setters. Is it true? If this is case what methods can be 
detected by  respond_to?() ?


Question 2: There are ole_put_methods, ole_get_methods, and ole_methods 
in WIN32OLE. From your post now I know  the differences among 
ole_put_methods and ole_get_methods. But how about ole_methods? I only 
know it will return more methods. And most of them cannot detected by 
respond_to?(),either.
