GetVarType - method of object Pm
Description:
Returns the data type of the value.
Syntax:
GetVarType(vValue As Variant, [nMode As Long]) As String
Calling:
sType = Pm.GetVarType(vValue, nMode)Parameters:
| vValue | (Variant) Any valid expression. |
|---|
| nMode | [optional] (Long) Defines the level of detail of data type detection (especialy for object): 0 (default) - If the value contains object, then its type is not being detected. |
|---|
Return Values:
Returns one of the following strings that defines the data type of the vValue:
"undefined" - The value is not set.
"number" - The value is a number. The number type (integer or floating point) and byte size are not distinguished. All number types are identified the same way here. In order to detect whether it is an integer use the
Pm.IsInt method.
"boolean" - The value represents a logical value
false or
true.
"string" - The value is a text string.
"vbarray" - The value is a
VBScript aray.
"object" -
If nMode = 0, then the value contains arbitrary object (the object type is not distinguished).
If nMode = 1, then the value contains object other than those listed objects.
"PmMap" - If
nMode = 1, then the value is an object
PmMap.
"PmArray" - If
nMode = 1, then the value is an object
PmArray.
"PmList" - If
nMode = 1, then the value is an object
PmList.
"PmDateObject" - If
nMode = 1, then the value is an object
PmDateObject.
"PmAction" - If
nMode = 1, then the value is an object
PmAction.
"PmForm" - If
nMode = 1, then the value is an object
PmForm.
Example:
sType = Pm.GetVarType(-3.14) ' Returns "number"
