The OBJECT Get indicator type command returns the current indicator type assigned to the thermometer(s) designated by the object and * parameters.
You can set the indicator type using the Property List in Design mode, or using the OBJECT SET INDICATOR TYPE command.
Passing the optional * parameter indicates that the object parameter is an object name (string). If you do not pass this parameter, it indicates that the object parameter is a field or variable. In this case, you pass a field or variable reference instead of a string (field or variable object only).
You can compare the value returned by the command with the following constants, found in the "Form Objects (Properties)" theme:
