How to get the type of a control

[shapper]

Hello,

I created 3 custom controls: A, B and C.
Given a control how can I get its type and check if it is of type A, B
or C?

Thanks,
Miguel

If A.GetType() = B.GetType() Then.....

....or...

If GetType(A) = GetType(B) Then....

....or....

Select Case A.GetType.Name
Case B.GetType.Name
' Do something

Case C.GetType.Name
' Do something

End Select

maybe you could use the "IS" keyword/operator?

Yep, I realized that just as I was looking at my post. Replace "=" with
"Is" when checking a type against another type.
