[Gambas-user] [Gambas Bug Tracker] Bug #1272: DBus not fully case sensitive

[T Lee Davidson]

I mean that the org.freedesktop.NetworkManager DBus application/interface has a method named "state" _and_ a property named
"State". So to invoke the method, one would use ".state()" and to read the property, ".State".
