I want to use the 'type' property of the UIComponentDescriptor object to find out if the component that it is describing is my custom component.
The only way I have been able to do this so far is by calling toString() on the 'type' property and doing a string compare with the name of my custom component. This seems all wrong. It seems like I should be able to do a compare with the 'type' property as is, or use the 'is' operator or something, but so far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts. Any thoughts? I think I am missing something basic and obvious on this one. :-) Thanks again!
