Details

ComponentTypeName is the fully qualified name of the component's class including its pattername if it is a member of another class.
 
For classes defined in LANSA as a member of another class, otherwise known as a Pattern e.g. PRIM_VS.Style, the ComponentTypeName is "PRIM_VS".
 
Unless the application requires complex generic programming, ComponentTypeName is unlikely to be required for most development purposes.
