Is there an "official" way for a LabVIEW subclass to read its own name?

[mikeporter]

The issue is that the application uses a database to store its configuration so at some point in the hierarchy, the subclass name needs to stop being a value used for dynamic dispatch and start being used at a parameter for a database query.

I have done a bit of poking and have come up with a hack potential solution that seems to work, but which has "brittle" written all over it. I could also put a value in the class data that says which subclass it really is, but that is ugly. So is there official way of doing this?

Is this:

what you're looking for?

If not, I may not be understanding the question.

You understood fine, that is exactly what I was looking for. 

Thanks, Mike...
