Dim testNumber, testArray(5) As Integer
Dim testVarType As VariantType
testVarType = VarType(testVarType)
' Returns VariantType.Integer.
testVarType = VarType(testString)
' Returns VariantType.String.
testVarType = VarType(testObject)
' Returns VariantType.Object.
testVarType = VarType(testNumber)
' Returns VariantType.Integer.
testVarType = VarType(testArray)
' Returns the bitwise OR of VariantType.Array and VariantType.Integer.
