I am trying to create a Right-Click Shortcut that will distinguish between a wire of class A and a wire of class B when deciding which option(s) to add to the menu. Actually, more specifically what I really want to know is whether the wire is of a class that inherits from class A. I got the reference of the Wire, then got the Data Type from an associated Terminal. so I know it's a Class. The question is... how do I know WHICH class? I have learned that you can't cast the Data Type wire (didn't figure), and I don't see a Value property on either Wire or Terminal. And oddly enough, neither Wire nor Terminal seem to have nay Dependencies, despite the fact that the wire is of a type that must have an associated *.lvclass file. Any Idea how to do this? Stumped so far...
