Remarks
Use the Type property to determine the type of an object at runtime. This is useful for generic functions such as for data logging that need the object type in order to know which properties and / or results to access.

Example

Integer i, count, objType, score
Real area
VGet seq1.Objects.Count, count
For i = 1 To count
  VGet seq1.Objects(i).Type, objType
  Select objType
   Case VISION_OBJTYPE_CORRELATION
     VGet seq1.Objects(i).Score, score
     ' log some data here
   Case VISION_OBJTYPE_BLOB
     VGet seq1.Objects(i).Area, area
     ' log some data here
  Send
Next i
