## Return Value

## Description

The `GetObjectText` method retrieves the text content of a specified chart object. This is primarily used with text-based objects like labels, but can also be used with other objects that have text properties.

## Example

```typescript
// Get text from a text label
const labelText = this.api.GetObjectText('MyLabel')
console.log(`Label text: ${labelText}`)

// Get text from a static label
const staticText = this.api.GetObjectText('MyStaticLabel', true)
console.log(`Static label text: ${staticText}`)

// List all text objects with their content
const count = this.api.GetObjectCount()
for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    const name = this.api.GetObjectName(i)
    if (this.api.GetObjectType(name) === TObjectType.TEXT) {
        const text = this.api.GetObjectText(name)
        console.log(`Text object ${name}: "${text}"`)
    }
}

// Error handling example
try {
    const text = this.api.GetObjectText('NonExistentObject')
} catch (error) {
    console.log('Error getting object text:', error.message)
}
```
