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

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Gambas does not accept anything declared with same name. So that should
generate error.

.State() gives value of the function.
.State gives reference to the same function.

The case doesn't matter.


I don't understand the documentation:
https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/stable/gdbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.html

The property and method seem to do exactly the same thing. Maybe it is just
error.
