If anyone decides they would like to take on a SBasic data dictionary function, here are the basics:

In a mass update:

var str as string
var name as string
var loop as int
var type as int

// Get a list of the elements on the form
str = @StringArrayElementList()

// Loop through them
for loop = 1 to @CountStringArray(str)

   // Get the name of the element
   name = @AccessStringArray(str, loop)

   // Set the "ThisElement" construct
   SetThisElement(name)

   // Use the "ThisElement" to get the element type
   type = @ElementType(ThisElement)

   // Print out the name and the type. This could also be visibility, position, size, color, whatever...
   WriteLn(name + " " + @str(type))
next

// Set "ThisElement" back to the calling element
UnSetThisElement()
