I am passing a variant to a procedure. In the procedure I want to find out what type of an object I have passed. I am passing textboxes, combo boxes and datepickers. Each are handled slightly differently in the procedure. I know the is a function to tell what kind of object something is. What is it and will it work in this case.<br />

What  type of object

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
