Description

Returns the class reference for the object's class.

Note: ClassType dynamically determines the type of an object and returns its class reference, or metaclass.

Avoid using ClassType in application code.

Note: In Delphi code, use the is or as operators instead of ClassType.

Note: In C++ code, use a dynamic cast or the InheritsFrom method instead of ClassType.
