Determining Object (shape) Types

[Gary]

I'm trying to write code that I can use to save object information so that
changes made by a user can be recreated from code. The problem I'm having is
trying to determine what the object is (ie. Rectangle, Ellipse, Line,
etc...). I need to know this because there is diffent information that needs
to be collected. Does anyone know a way to determine the type of shape an
object is.

Thanks

Gary

mu guess would be; retrieve the MasterName, but this is probably only
for stencil based Shapes

This really didn't answer my question. Most likly the user will be just
drawing a box or other shape and putting text in it. They won't be using the
stencils

Thanks
