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. Other attributes of handles are:
aux - Get first aux object, or add to an object to the aux list of this one. locked - Access locked state of the object. name - Access the name of the object. next - Access next object in the drawing list. parent - Access the parent object in the drawing list. prev - Access previous object in the drawing list. selected - Access the selection state of the object. type - Access the type of the object. Get-only.
