Subj : type of void*

Hi.

I am using BC5.02 with RTTI on.

I have a function and a class:
    void  MyFunc (void* object);
    class MyClass;

In the function, MyFunc, is there a way of testing if "object" points to an
instance of MyClass? I tried
    down_cast<MyClass>(object)
and got a compile time error. I tried typeid but that didn't work either. In
fact, is there any way of finding out what "object" does point to?

TIA
