Returns an array of Progress.Reflect.Constructor instances that match the
specified conditions. There is no guaranteed order for the returned constructors. If there
are no constructors that match the specified conditions, the method returns an indeterminate
array.
Return type:
Progress.Reflect.Constructor class EXTENT
Access: PUBLIC
Applies to:
Progress.Lang.Class class
Syntax
GetConstructors ( )
GetConstructors ( INPUT flags AS Progress.Reflect.Flags )

-
flags
- A Progress.Reflect.Flags instance indicating the access mode(s) the
returned constructors must have. See Progress.Reflect.Flags enumeration for more
information.
Caution:
This method does not return static constructors, so
setting the Static flag will raise an error. Unlike other reflection
methods, GetConstructors() defaults to returning instance
constructors, so you do not need to set the Instance flag for this
method.
Notes
- You only need to pass the Public, Protected, and/or
Private flags, as desired. This method never returns a constructor from
a super class of the class it is applied to, and the method only returns instance
constructors, so the DeclaredOnly and Instance flags are
implied.
- GetConstructors( ) returns a
Progress.Reflect.Constructor instance describing the default
constructor if no other constructor is defined.
GetConstructors(flags) returns the default
constructor if no other constructor is defined and it matches the specified flags.
- GetConstructors( ) only returns public constructors.
GetConstructors(flags) does return ABL class
constructors defined as protected or private if they satisfy the specified conditions, but
you cannot invoke them.
- This method does not return .NET class constructors defined as private.
