Android Question Bug ? (edittext seen as label)

[advansis]

Hi guys, I have a problem while checking the type of a view (don't know if previous versions of B4A are affected, mine is 9.30).

Dim T As EditText
    T.Initialize("TXT")
    T.Text="My Text Value"
    Activity.AddView(T,10,10,100,100)
   
    If T Is Label Then
        Log("IS A LABEL")
    End If

The EditText object is recognized as a Label (the LOG says: IS A LABEL) !
It is a problem when using GetAllViewsRecursive in a panel populated at runtime....
Is it a bug or inheritance ? If it is inheritance, please tell me how to replicate this feature, sounds interesting...
OR ELSE: is there any other way for type-checking ?

Thank you

Is it a bug or inheritance

Inheritance!

Check for type 'EditText' before checking for 'Label'. EditText and Label will both look like a 'View' as well

Ok, so with IS instead of GetType,

no way to use the Select case statement ...

to check the Type of Object ?

no way to use the Select case statement

I don't know, I've never tried. When I need to check a type I use If ... Else If ... End If

Sure you can!

Sub WhichObject(Obj As Object)
    Select True
        Case Obj Is EditText
            Log("EditText")
        Case Obj Is Button
            Log("Button")
        Case Obj Is Label
            Log("Label")
        Case Obj Is ListView
            Log("ListView")
    End Select
End Sub

- perfect, it's better for me.

- in this case also, it s necessary to check the Label at the end, as said Agraham above ?
