Detailed Discussion

ClassInfo objects describe classes declared by your program and in modules.

The ArrayLength, GetElement, SetElement and NewArray methods are only valid if the class represents an array box class. You can determine whether a class is an array box class with the ElementType method. If ElementType returns non-null, then the class is an array box class.

The recursive parameter of the GetConst, GetGlobal, GetField, GetMethod and GetFunction methods indicates whether or not the entire class hierarchy should be searched, or only the current class.

The recursive parameter of the GetConsts, GetGlobals, GetFields, GetMethods and GetFunctions methods indicates whether or not all declarations spanning the entire class hierarchy should be returned, or only those declared within the current class.
