Any

Any is the class at the root of AutoHotkey's type hierarchy. All other types are a sub-type of Any.

Any.Prototype defines methods and properties that are applicable to all values and objects (currently excluding ComValue and derived types) unless overridden. The prototype object itself is natively an Object, but has no base and therefore does not identify as an instance of Object.

Methods

GetMethod

Retrieves the implementation function of a method.

Value.GetMethod(Name, ParamCount)

This method is exactly equivalent to GetMethod(Value, Name, ParamCount), unless overridden.

HasBase

Returns true if the specified base object is in the value's chain of base objects, otherwise false.

Value.HasBase(BaseObj)

This method is exactly equivalent to HasBase(Value, BaseObj), unless overridden.

HasMethod

Returns true if the value has a method by this name, otherwise false.

Value.HasMethod(Name, ParamCount)

This method is exactly equivalent to HasMethod(Value, Name, ParamCount), unless overridden.

HasProp

Returns true if the value has a property by this name, otherwise false.

Value.HasProp(Name)

This method is exactly equivalent to HasProp(Value, Name), unless overridden.

Properties

Base

Retrieves the value's base object.

BaseObj := Value.Base

For primitive values, the return value is the pre-defined prototype object corresponding to Type(Value).

Functions

ObjGetBase

Returns the value's base object.

BaseObj := ObjGetBase(Value)

No meta-functions or property functions are called. Overriding the Base property does not affect the behaviour of this function.

If there is no base, the return value is an empty string. Only the Any prototype itself has no base.
