Why would this be a property? Sounds like a simple attribute to me.
Anyway, the other reason for specifying the type is if you have a
default value. Since everything gets typed in the dialog as a string,
I need to be able to format it correctly when generating the class
code. The difference between these two statements:
self.MyProp = "42"
-and-
self.MyProp = 42
... depends on being able to know if the value you entered is a
string or an int. If you don't set a default value, you don't need to
specify a type.

If there is an error in the code, the property definition will fail,
and of course it won't be available. But otherwise, yes, you should
be able to reference it just like any other property.
