取得数据的类型

在网上搜到的一段代码：

procedure TForm1.ShowBasicVariantType(varVar: Variant);
var
  typeString : string;
  basicType  : Integer;

begin
  // Get the Variant basic type :
  // this means excluding array or indirection modifiers
  basicType := VarType(varVar) and VarTypeMask;

  // Set a string to match the type
  case basicType of
    varEmpty     : typeString := 'varEmpty';
    varNull      : typeString := 'varNull';
    varSmallInt  : typeString := 'varSmallInt';
    varInteger   : typeString := 'varInteger';
    varSingle    : typeString := 'varSingle';
    varDouble    : typeString := 'varDouble';
    varCurrency  : typeString := 'varCurrency';
    varDate      : typeString := 'varDate';
    varOleStr    : typeString := 'varOleStr';
    varDispatch  : typeString := 'varDispatch';
    varError     : typeString := 'varError';
    varBoolean   : typeString := 'varBoolean';
    varVariant   : typeString := 'varVariant';
    varUnknown   : typeString := 'varUnknown';
    varByte      : typeString := 'varByte';
    varWord      : typeString := 'varWord';
    varLongWord  : typeString := 'varLongWord';
    varInt64     : typeString := 'varInt64';
    varStrArg    : typeString := 'varStrArg';
    varString    : typeString := 'varString';
    varAny       : typeString := 'varAny';
    varTypeMask  : typeString := 'varTypeMask';
  end;

  // Show the Variant type
  ShowMessage('Variant type  = '+typeString);
end;
