Hi Guys,



Here is the support anwer to the GetVarType, Object.Prototype uncertainty:



Hello Simon,

 

Date and Array are the intrinsic JScript objects. They are not OLE-compatible data types, so it is correct that the GetVarType method treats them as objects that implement the IDispatch interface.

 

The "Object.prototype" approach you are currently using to detect the type of a JScript object is correct.

 

Best regards,

Natalie Borovykh
