I think it gets the "least common denominator" from possible classes.

Oh, it's a bit hard and I don't have a workspace handy.
You can get this information from the underlying CPropertyInfo, look
for getTypes() method or something like this. You can get CClassInfo
of the element from there and the use the outline to check which
ClassOutline was generated for this class info.
Let me know if you have further difficulties, I'll try to help.
