Sub members are accessed with Operator . (Member Access) or Operator -> (Pointer To Member Access) to call a member procedure and may optionally accept parameters either ByVal or ByRef. typename be overloaded without explicit use of the Overload keyword.

typename is the name of the type for which the Sub method is declared and defined. Name resolution for typename follows the same rules as procedures when used in a Namespace.

A hidden This parameter having the same type as typename is passed to non-static member procedures. This is used to access the fields of the Type, Class, or Union.
To access duplicated symbols defined outside the Type, use: .SomeSymbol (or ..SomeSymbol if inside a With..End With block).

A Static (Member) may be declared using the Static specifier. A Const (Member) may be declared using the Const specifier.
