The framework uses this method to indicate the following transfer types: ZOOM, CREATE_WINDOW.

Example

Function: FrameStartupUser
   Actions
       If DataTransfer.TypeGet( ) = 'ZOOM'
          Call InitFromTransferredData( )
       Else
          <init in some other way>

C# code

sType = Var.DataTransfer.TypeGet();
if (sType == "__ZOOM") 
{
	// Zoom using the Navigation History, convert to a QUERY instead
	Var.DataTransfer.TypeSet("QUERY"); 
}
