It can be useful, when looking through a database, to know all of the component methods available from a component.
Below are steps to easily obtain a list of component methods:

    1) Open up the database with the component in design mode
    2) Open up the designer explorer window and go to the Methods section
    3) Find the component under the Component Methods and expand it and highlight all of the methods in the component
    This can be done by clicking the first or last method in the list, then holding down shift and clicking the other end.
    4) Open up a text editor
    5) Click and drag the highlighted methods to the text editor.

This will generate a list of component methods that can be used for analyzing a database.

This will only obtain methods that are available to a host database and not all of the component methods in the component.
