 ### Names
 
 - **Method name**
 
-  Sets the method name.
-
-  |Interface type|Description|
-  |--------------------|-----------------|
-  |ATL dual interface, custom interface, and local custom interface|Provide your own method name.|
-  |MFC dispinterface|Provide your own method name or select a suggested method name from the list. If you select a name from the list, the appropriate value appears in the **Return type** box, and it's unchangeable.|
-  |MFC ActiveX control dispinterface|Provide your own or select either of the stock methods [DoClick](../mfc/reference/colecontrol-class.md#doclick) and [Refresh](../mfc/reference/colecontrol-class.md#refresh). For more information, see [MFC ActiveX controls: Adding stock methods](../mfc/mfc-activex-controls-adding-stock-methods.md).|
-
-- **Internal name**
-
-  Available only for custom methods added to an MFC dispinterface. Sets the name used in the dispatch map, the header (`.h`) file, and the implementation (`.cpp`) file. By default, this name is the same as **Method name**. You can change the method name, if you're working with an MFC dispinterface or if you're adding a custom method to an MFC ActiveX control dispinterface.
-
-  |Interface type|Description|
-  |--------------------|-----------------|
-  |ATL dual interface, custom interface, and local custom interface|Not available.|
-  |MFC dispinterface|Set to the method name by default. You can edit the internal name.|
-  |MFC ActiveX control dispinterface|You can set the internal name only for custom methods. Stock methods don't use an internal name.|
+  Sets the method name. Provide your own method name.
 
 - **Return type**
 
-  The data type returned by the method. `HRESULT` is recommended for all interface types, as it provides a standard way to return errors.
-
-  |Interface type|Description|
-  |--------------------|-----------------|
-  |Dual interface|`HRESULT`. Unchangeable.|
-  |Custom interface|`HRESULT`. Unchangeable.|
-  |Local custom interface|Provide your own return type or select from the list.|
-  |Dispinterface|Provide your own return type or select from the list.|
-  |MFC ActiveX control dispinterface|If you implement a stock method, the return type is set to the appropriate value and is unchangeable. If you select a method from the **Method name** list and select **Custom** under **Select method type**, select a return type from the list.|
-
-- **Method type**
-
-  Available only for MFC projects, ActiveX control projects, and ATL projects that support MFC. This field is unavailable, if you provide a method name in the **Method name**, rather than selecting a method from the list.
-
-  If you select one of the methods in the **Method name** list, select either the stock implementation or a custom implementation.
-
-  |Method type|Description|
-  |-----------------|-----------------|
-  |**Stock**|The default. Inserts the stock implementation of the method you select in the **Method name** list. **Return type** is unchangeable if you select **Stock**.|
-  |**Custom**|Inserts a stub implementation of the method selected in the **Method name** list. For custom method types, you can provide your own return type, or you can select one from the **Return type** list.|
+  The data type returned by the method. Provide your own return type or select from the list.
 
 - **Parameter type**
 
-  Sets the data type of the parameter. You can type it or select the type from the list.
+  Sets the data type of the parameter. You can type it with parameter name.
 
 - **Parameter name**
 
-  Sets the name of a parameter. Select **+** to add the parameter to the list of parameters. If you don't provide a parameter name, the wizard ignores any parameter attributes (ATL only) or **Parameter type** selections.
