| How can I test if an instance is of a certain type? |

| If you only need to know if it extends a certain type, trying to cast it is the fast and simple way. Otherwise, you can as well use reflection and get its type and any type it extended. |
| ||
| I guess you could give it a field that you could check, bung it in a list by itself then tot up how many of its type are present in that list with eachin, or investigate reflection (which I'm unfamiliar with but I dimly suspect might be able to facilitate this sort of thing). EDIT: Whoops, beaten to it! |

| Thanks alot.. Works .. Type Test1 End Type Type Test2 Extends Test1 End Type Local t2:Test2 Local t1:Test1 t2 = New Test2 t1 = New Test1 If Test2(t1) Then Print " Same Type " Else Print "Not Same Type" End If If Test2(t2) Then Print " Same Type " Else Print "Not Same Type" End If |

| Ooh the cast method is neat. Noted that one down. |
