I do not know where the class definition is stored and I'd like to get these properties without instantiating a class, because the Init of the class has some references to thisform and I may not have a form...

Then you cannot read the vcx/prg.

VFP have not a

=LOADCLASS('classname','classfile')

well, it needs to force the loading:

TRY
  =NEWOBJECT("classname")
CATCH
FINALLY
   ? getpem("classname","cFldNames"
   ? getpem("classname","cCaption"
   CLEAR CLASS "classname"
ENDTRY

Of course, the code in Init have to not change the application's state.
