Is it possible?!

If I were to loop through a list of Base class's is here a way I could refer to their extended class IF it was a certain class?

For Local b:basetype = EachIn list
	Local child:tchildtype = tchildtype(b)
	If child
		'do something
	EndIf
Next

However, if you need to do that there is probably something wrong with your design, as OO is designed so that you don't need to do that. You should put child-specific data in the child's methods. If you show some code I can make suggestions.
