I'd like to create an object... say a "Movie" object. The object should have a method name "Stop", so I can have this code below

dim Mov as new Movie
Mov.Stop ' To execute the Stop method.

In my Movie class, I should have something like this.

Sub Stop()
'code here needed for the Stop subroutine
End Sub

However, I can't use "Stop" as name as this is a reserved word. I see a VB code that has "Stop" as one of the method. Unfortunately, the code is protected so I can't view it.

How can I name a subroutine as "Stop"?
