A Project Item is an individual item in a LabVIEW Project, LabVIEW Project Library, LabVIEW Class, or XControl. A Project Item can be one of many types with an associated type GUID. The ProjectItem class, Type String Property can be used to get the Type String. The ProjectItem class, Type GUID Property can be used to get the Type GUID. The Type String is used in the ProjectItem class, Get All Descendents method to get a filtered list of the Descendents by the inputted type. A list of valid Type Strings with associated Type GUIDs are listed below. (Add to this list as more are discovered.)
