Putting and Getting Values Generically

In some situations it is constrictive to have to know the type of an item in order to choose which OT Put or OT Get command to use. ObjectTools allows you to put and get values generically, without having to know their type, by using the OT PutVariable and OT GetVariable commands.

These commands take pointers to a variable, through which values are stored and retrieved from an object. Thus you can generically pass a pointer to these commands without having to know in advance the type of the variable they point to, as long as the variable and item type match according to the rules mentioned above.
