Description
Returns a long integer code that indicates the class of the current PBDOM_OBJECT.
Syntax
pbdom_object_name.GetObjectClass()
Return value
Long.
A code that indicates the class of the current PBDOM_OBJECT. If pbdom_object_name is a PBDOM_ELEMENT object, the returned value is 3.
Examples
The GetObjectClass method returns a value specific to the class of the object from which the method is invoked.
PBDOM_OBJECT pbdom_obj
pbdom_obj = Create PBDOM_ELEMENT
MessageBox ("Class", &
string(pbdom_obj.GetObjectClass()))This example illustrates polymorphisms: pbdom_obj is declared as PBDOM_OBJECT but instantiated as PBDOM_ELMENT. A message box returns the result of the GetObjectClass method invoked for PBDOM_ELEMENT object. Here the result is 3, indicating that pbdom_obj is a PBDOM_ELEMENT object.
Usage
This method can be used for diagnostic purposes to dynamically determine the type of a PBDOM_OBJECT at runtime.
