check out wiki for Symbol class (it's hard to find)
https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb/.symbol

For Each sSymbol As String In Classes["Form"].Symbols
  With Classes["Form"][sSymbol]
    Print .Name;; .Kind;; .Type;; .Value
  End With
Next

.kind come from the Class constants Class.Method Class.Property etc
