Description
DON'T USE THIS ANYMORE. Switch over to GetTypeN.
Returns the type index of the referenced object.
A complete listing of supported object types may be found in the Appendix.
FUNCTION GetType(
h :HANDLE) : INTEGER;
def vs.GetType(h):
return INTEGER
Parameters
h HANDLE Handle to object.
Return Value
Returns the node type of the referenced object.
