Description

Member of VCOM:VectorWorks:ISDK

For object h, returns the first ancestor object of type tdType, or nil if no (eventual) parent of that type exists. For example, CB_SearchForAncestorType(16, h) will return the symDef that contains h, or nil if h is not a child of a symDef. Aux lists are not considered in this function (if h is in an aux list, this function will always return nil).
