Determine micclass of an object
	
	
		How to determine micclass when all you have is the name
I'd like to know how to determine the micclass (WebEdit, WebList, etc) of an object in the object repository (OR) when all I have is the name of the object itself in IE. I have the browser name and page name, I just need to be able to ask the Local OR what type of object it is. 
I'm putting together a function that I can pass the name of the object into and it will return that object as a variable that I can then pass to all of my other functions making programming a snap. Can anyone out there please offer me a solution for this please? Thanks!

		Function getbrowsertitle() 
set sbrowser = description.create() 
sbrowser("micclass").value = "browser" 
set sobj = desktop.childobjects(sbrowser)
 icount = sobj.count 
if (icount <> 0) then 
getbrowsertitle = browser("creationtime:="& icount-1).getroproperty("title") 
end if 
set sbrowser = nothing 
set sobj = nothing 
end function

		I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with this but in my experience, besides the Browser and the Page, its not a very good scripting approach to identify an object. There might be multiple WebEdits, WebElements, Frames etc. on a page and just using their ClassName identifier won't be sufficient to identify them.

		kool........we have several other properties to identify them....
name/idex can be one of them...
if index does not work..location can be a solution,,
