Explorer_Get_Datatype

This procedure is called by SmartList whenever it must determine the datatype for a column or field. Based on the parameter values passed in, the procedure must return the datatype for specified column or field.

The procedure must have the following parameters:

inout integer IO_Datatype;
in integer IN_Object_Dict_ID;
in integer IN_Object_Type;
in integer IN_Field_Dict_ID;
in integer IN_Field_ID;

IO_Datatype – An integer that must be set by the procedure to indicate the datatype of the specified column or field. The value corresponds to one of the following:
