Hi!

Is it possible with the reflection module to get the class name of an instance of an object during runtime?

yes I think its just as simple as:

local myobj:tree
Print GetClass(myobj).Name
(prints "tree")

Hmmm, the example didn't work over here:

I've tried it and it prints out:

monkey.lang.Object

Because in that sample code, myobj is still null.
You need to assign it an instance of tree.

Hi,

This works here:

Import reflection

Class C
End

Function Main()
	Local c:=New C
	Print GetClass( c ).Name
End

Oh thanks,

I had setup a wrong reflection filter. I'm sorry, but thanks for the help anyway ;)
