className
The className message retrieves the class name, as a character string,
of the object to which it is sent. For example, the expression
oWin:className would return the string "Window" if the variable oWin
referred to an object of class Window.
The className message is supported by standard Clipper. The Clipper
classes such as TBrowse return a class name string which is capitalized,
eg. "TBROWSE". However, class names of Class(y) classes retain the
capitalization used in their definition.
Important!
Using the className message to determine what class an object belongs to
is not recommended. It is intended mainly for informational and debugging
purposes. To determine the class of an object, use the class message as
described in the section Checking an Object's Class.
