How can I check the type of the enumerated IStorage element in Delphi?

I need to work with IStorage and IStream interfaces in Delphi 7. I need the name list of storages and streams in IStorage instances. If I try to collect them like this:

procedure TStorageUtility.collectElementNamesByType( iStg_ : IStorage; names_ : TStringList; type_ : byte );
var
  enum : IEnumSTATSTG;
  rec : StatStg;
  num : integer;
begin
  if ( iStg_.enumElements( 0, NIL, 0, enum ) = S_OK ) then
    while ( enum.next( 1, rec, @num ) = S_OK ) do
    begin
      if ( rec.type = type_ ) then
        names_.add( wideString( rec.pwcsName ) );
    end;
end;

I get a compiler error: 

Identifier expected but 'TYPE' found

at the line

if ( rec.type = type_ ) then

Here is the STATSTG record definition : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa380319(v=vs.85).aspx

How can I check the record type without any compiler error message?

OK. The MSDN documentation (for Delphi users) is misleading. This field of STATSTG is defined in the ActiveX unit by name dwType. When I use it, it compiles, of course.
