inheritsFrom

inheritsFrom(type: Type): Boolean;

The inheritsFrom method of the Type class returns true if the receiver inherits methods and properties from the type specified in the type parameter; for example:

if cls.inheritsFrom(MyNewDialog) then
    if form.borderStyle = BorderStyle_Sizable then
        write form.name;
    endif;
endif;

A type always inherits from itself.
