VariantType Enumeration
Indicates the type of a variant object, returned by the VarType function.
Remarks
When you call the VarType function, you can use enumeration members in your code in place of the actual values.
The VariantType enumeration defines constants used to identify possible Variant types. The following table lists the VariantType enumeration members.
