Scripting: find slide orientation programmatically

to add my 2 cents, we could calculate the eigenvalues of the centered bounding box coordinates of the slide control, because:

- The larger eigenvalue indicates the direction of the longer side. If the larger eigenvalue indicates the variance in the y-direction, then the rectangle is vertically oriented.

- If the larger eigenvalue indicates the variance in the x-direction, then the rectangle is horizontally oriented.

- This is a simplification that assumes the eigenvalues correctly reflect the variance along the principal axes, which is the case for a rectangle with known opposite corners and orthogonal sides

Thank you!

Property BasicObjectFlags works.

At the beginning I tried to get the same information from property Style ID but search for right Style ID (if there is one) takes a hell of time.
