An object's type is described by an integer code which cannot be changed once an object is created.
• If scope equals -1, CT Get object type returns the object type for all objects in the document. If the types of the objects are not equal, CT Get object type returns -32000.
• If scope equals 0, CT Get object type returns the object type for the selected objects. If the types of the objects are not equal, CT Get object type returns -32000.
• If scope is greater than 0, it must be equal to a specific object's ID and that object's type is returned. If the object does not exist, CT Get object type returns -32000.
