It should be get_Counter, but shows only _Counter

The name you are using for the property is not valid as identifier names should not start with underscore. Usually the compiler will throw an error about this, however in this case it doesn't.

The name of the sub in the class is

get_Counter() as string

Yes, this creates a property named _Counter which is not an allowed identifier.

You should use
getCounter() As String
in this case Counter is considered by the compiler as a property !
So you should return a value for Counter.
You could also use setCounter to set the Counter property.
If you want the routin being a subroutine you could use GetCounter or Get_Counter, in this case they will be considered as routines and not as Properties.

I understood.

Please, put yourself in the position of a beginner.

What happen in my case :

1) Definitly I use jk.get_Counter and it works without an error.

2) On the right site I see in the List (tab modules) get_Counter

3) I only dont see it correct in the combobox.

For a beginner this is certainly not clear
What can be or not the developer of b4a should control. (Warning .... and so on)
