Retrieving Type from TMap

I've inserted my type into a Map using...

owner.DataPort.Insert("TCursorDefault", Self)

How would I go about retrieving that object?

ValueForKey Returns Object, but I need the class instance I inserted

I believe I need to cast ^.^

Unless you are 100% sure the type you are getting out is that, you should do a check like this whenever you transform an object into a type..

Local o:MyType = MyType(map.ValueForKey("blah"))
If (Not o) Then ..Error..

If you get SomeOtherType out of the map, it will get converted to Null during the cast to MyType.
