What class is TextFrame.Parent?

[David Thielen]

I have a case where it is a COM object but throws an exception when I
try to case it to a Shape. This is in a plain old text box.

??? - thanks - dave

Turns out it's a ShapeRange - any idea why?

David,
How are you accessing the TextFrame object?

?TypeName(activewindow.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.Parent)
ShapeRange

?Typename(activepresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1).TextFrame.Parent)
Shape
