Android Question Type of custom view

[Guenter Becker]

Good Day to you,

may be it is a silly question but yet I do'nt see the wood for the trees.
I developed a XUI Custom View and put the view as a children in a Panel. Now I like to run through the Panel childern and test each returned view ( see code example). For the native views it is working fine. But if I like to test a custom view it fails. I tried also GetType but it is the same result.

Next I tried to get access to a custom property of the custom view and coded a getColumnName public sub. It is shown in the view's context menu but calling it leads to an error (see code).

Questions:
What is a working way to detect the type of a custom view?
How to access a Custom Views custom property.

Thank you for your help.
Best regards Guenter

For Each cView As B4XView In pnlDataForm.GetAllViewsRecursive
    If cView.Tag Is TDextLabel Then
        Dim clbl As TDextLabel = cView.Tag
        Log(clbl.ColumnName)
    End If
Next
