Scripting: Cast ProjectItem type to VI type

[_Y_]

I try to access specific properties of VI found in project tree. However, there is no datatype "VI" among sub-types of "ProjectItem". This is a very simplified illustration.

Which type shall I select to access properties of VI type?

Thank you

In  1000 words equivalency.

Thank you Jeff,

It was unexpected but exactly what I need.

Unexpected?  OK that begs the question:  How did Jeff traverse that property tree without even testing it?  Assume: NI wrote minimally obfuscated code to parse the *.lvproj file.  (Assumption validated by inspection)
