Are member requests in the Reflection mod case-insensitive; e.g. will the following ..

MyFieldObject = MyTypeID.GetField( "MyField" )

.. return the same as ..

MyFieldObject = MyTypeID.GetField( "mYFiELD" )

..? Thank you.

Any Ideas?

Since Max is not a case-sensitive language, yes they will both return the same exact object.

Example:

SuperStrict

Framework brl.blitz
Import brl.standardio
Import brl.reflection


Type TMyType
	Field m_myfield:Int = 100
End Type

Local tid:TTypeId = TTypeId.ForName("TMyType")
Local fld:TField = tid.FindField("m_myfield")
Local fld2:TField = tid.FindField("M_MyFiElD")

If fld = fld2
	Print("fld and fld2 are identical")
Else
	Print("fld and fld2 are /not/ identical!")
End If

Why didn't you just test this yourself instead of waiting 6 hours for a reply? O_o
