Is there a way to programatically traverse LabVIEW's internal class structures?

What I have in mind is if I have a given type of reference -- say to a ring control -- if there a way to programatically tell that it is a child of the class NamedNumeric, which is a child of the class Numeric, which is a child of the class Control?

LV15+ "Get Class Hierarchy From Class Name.vi" in the scripting palette.

Perfect! Does this work inside a built executable? Some scripting does not, and this doesn't say.

I doubt the VI will work as written in an executable, but you can save a copy, create an indicator for the AllTypes[] array, run once and change it to a constant.  Then you can strip out all of the scripting code.
