Hi, I am wondering if anybody knows how I can find the actual class type of a custom component? By that I mean I create a custom component that is a VBox, but I call it MyCustomBox, and whenever I call className on that it returns MyCustomBox, but I want to get the class VBox by any means. Appreciate any help, thanks!
