This property specifies the data type of the column.
Syntax
IColumn.Type
Remarks
The Type property can be an empty string, or one of the values in the following table..
| Type | VBScript VarType |
| BOOL | vbBoolean |
| FILETIME | vbDate |
| I4 | vbLong |
| LPSTR | vbString |
| LPWSTR | vbString |
Type is optional. You need not set it to function correctly with any value type returned by a filter. If you don't know the type of a property emitted by the indexing filter, or if the filter or filters for a property do not always emit the same value type, don't set Type. If Type is specified, it must match the value emitted by the filter, otherwise the value is discarded and not indexed.
