| invalidate | public invalidate() causes the component to be invalidated |
| invokeMethod | public invokeMethod(method: String) invokes a method of the Component |
| reconnect | public reconnect() reconnects the component |
| release | public release() Releases the COM reference to ModelCenter for this object. |
| releaseObjects | public releaseObjects() This function attempts to release any COM resources left behind from objects which have been finalized but release() was never called on them. |
| rename | public rename(name: String) Rename the component |
| run | public run() causes the component to run |
| setAssociatedFiles | public setAssociatedFiles(val: Array<Any>) sets the associated files of the component |
