How do I cast a control reference to a named numeric reference?

[Stephan35]

Using a cluster reference I get an array of controls and then by dereferencing this array I have a direct reference to a specific control. This could be any control but from the type descriptor value I know that this control is an enumeration (Type code 15,16,17 hex). I want to access this enumration controls 'strings[]' property from the control reference I have but the control reference only allows me access to the control class properties. If I could cast this reference to a named numeric reference then I could access the properties I am interested in. I know the enumeration control of which I have a reference to is a named numeric from the type code so is there a way to change my r
eference to reflect this?

Use "To more specific class" on the Application Control palette.
On the "Target Class" input, drop a "Class Specifier Constant"
that you set to enum type find in the right-click menu under:
Generic/GObject/Control/Numeric/NamedNumeric/Enum

Hope that attached will help. Your classID seems wrong, should be 34 (dec)
