Objects, methods and properties are terms from the field of object-oriented programming. Before
concentrating in more detail on OLE-specific programming, these terms should be explained.
Objects have properties which characterize the objects. You can select and set these properties.
To perform special functions on the objects, you define methods (functions).
The objects themselves can be defined in object hierarchies where you can work with inherited properties
and methods.
In R/3, function modules are now presented as objects which R/3 makes available externally via the
object-oriented interface (OLE Automation). There is thus an RFC object hierarchy.
