Returns the data type (siVariantType) of the parameter's value.
For example, a check-box parameter would return siBool and a
text-based parameter would return siString (see siVariantType for more information on
possible values for parameters).
Note: This is different from the SIObject.Type property, which refers to
the type of the Parameter object (which returns "Parameter").
'
' This example demonstrates the different between Type, ValueType and TypeName().
' Both a custom parameter and the position of an object are parameter objects
' so they have the same Type. However because one is an integer value and the
' other a double, they have different ValueTypes
