This is incredible - it really works! Not exactly each time, and it does require a save to get there, but it really works.

Man, I was trying to solve this one for four years, and this problem was actually the thing which brought me to UT - I came here looking for a solution for this problem.

The syntax may differ for a builder - I used this:

create class test of temp as form
=aselobj(aa,1)
aa[1].addproperty('newmethod')
aa[1].writemethod('newmethod', '* add code here')

And then it takes closing the editing window to get the property to become a method, but that's it.

This is a magnificent trick, and you're my software hero of the month :)
