GetCaptureType Function

Feature Upgrade: Starting with CSPro 7.1, you should no longer use this function as it may soon be removed from CSPro. To replicate the behavior of the function, you can use the getproperty function with the argument "CaptureType".
Format
i = getcapturetype(field_name);
Description
The getcapturetype function returns the capture type currently associated with a field on a form. The field_name must be located on one of the application's forms.
Return Value
The function returns the capture type, which is one of the following values:
CodeCapture Type
0Text Box
1Radio Button
2Check Box
3Drop Down Box
4Combo Box
5Date Picker
6Number Pad (desktop CSEntry only)
7Barcode (Android only)
8Slider (Android only)

    // change SEX from a radio button to a drop down box
    if getcapturetype(SEX) = 1 then
