Application.ClassName method

This is a basic demonstration using Application.ClassName to test the type of an object

def IsModel( in_obj )  :
	# There are no classes which derive from model so this is
	# a safe way to test the object 
	try:
		return ( Application.ClassName( in_obj ) == "Model" )
	except:
		#Exception will occur if in_obj isn't really an COM object
		return False

oSceneRoot = Application.ActiveSceneRoot 
oNull = oSceneRoot.AddNull()
oModel = oSceneRoot.AddModel()
# This is a model (prints "True")
Application.LogMessage( IsModel( oSceneRoot ) ) 
Application.LogMessage( IsModel( oModel ) ) 

# These are not models (prints "False")
Application.LogMessage( IsModel( Application ) ) 
Application.LogMessage( IsModel( oNull ) ) 
# These are not even Softimage objects (prints "False")
Application.LogMessage( IsModel( "not even an object" ) ) 
Application.LogMessage( IsModel( 22 ) )
