"hasmethod" function?

[venkman]

Is there a way to see if an object has a method? like:
if hasmethod(myobj, mymethod) then
myobj.mymethod
else
'do something else
end if

Crude, but it works:

on error resume next
myobj.mymethod
if err=438 then
err.clear
..do alternate stuff here
elseif err<>0 then
error err
end if

Thanks Rob. I was hoping there was a more elegant solution (ie. less lines of code to do it) . Is there any way to write this as a function which returns a boolean.

I can't think of a way to do it as a function. Once you've debugged your code, you code get rid of two lines (the elseif bit), which makes this hardly any longer than a function-based approach (though, admittedly, not as clean).
