Description

Returns the type index of the referenced planar or screen object.

A complete listing of supported object types may be found in the Appendix.

FUNCTION GetTypeN(
          h   :HANDLE) : INTEGER;

def vs.GetTypeN(h):
    return INTEGER

Parameters

h

HANDLE

Handle to object.

Remarks

Rgm [2012.05.16]: Note that to distinguish a Sheet Layer from a Design Layer, you need to check object variable 154 (ovLayerType), eg. GetObjectVariableInt(layerHd,154). If 1, then it's a Design Layer. If 2, then it's a Sheet Layer. GetTypeN will return 31 (kLayerNode) for both types.

Ptr [2020.09.14]: In Python you can also use "h.type" where h=HANDLE to get the object type integer.
