B4J Question Should a sub name always start with a capital ?

[Steve-h]

I found I can call a sub on a different page which has either a lower case or upper case start to the name but only if it is not expecting data.
I can call page2.test or page 2.Test.
However if test is configured to receive a variable it only works if the sub is called Test but not test.

Must sub names start with a Capital or am I missing something?

 

[Erel]

Sub names are case insensitive.

The only exception are routines that are class properties. Their names must start with set and get.

My initial example of Test was misleading and incorrect. However when trying to follow Erel's Qrcode generator example I found that :-

Public Sub SetQRstring(s As String)
    ImageView1.SetBitmap(generator.Create("s"))
End Sub

Can be called but :-

Public Sub setQRstring(s As String)
    ImageView1.SetBitmap(generator.Create("s"))
End Sub

Can not be called.
Experimenting seems to confirm it is related related to the word Set or set as the beginning of a sub name. Thanks to the pointer on that from Luca

No need to experiment:
