Method: IsKindOf for StringChannelFormatter

Method: IsKindOf for StringChannelFormatter

Checks whether a StringChannelFormatter object is a certain type.

The StringChannelFormatter object contains information about how the values of a channel are represented in the text file. The channel always belongs to a StringBlock.

bIsKindOf = Object.IsKindOf(Type)

The following example checks each channel whether this channel has a StringBlock and creates the channel property DataType:

Dim oMyChn
For Each oMyChn in oBlock.Channels
  If (oMyChn.Formatter.IsKindOf(eStringBlock)) Then
    Call oMyChn.Properties.Add("DataType", oMyChn.Formatter.DataType)
  End If
Next
