I`m not sure I have enough info to give specific advice, I presume
the node may not exist that you want to get the typeId for?
If MDGModifier does not do the job how about just creating one and
then use MGlobal::deleteNode() to get rid of it?
Just a thought...

to get it for a specific node type I guess one would need to use
the create function beforehand
yes, it's not a static/class method so the MFnDependencyNode class
needs to be instantiated to use that method... meaning you need an
existing node. i've done some very nasty things using dg modifiers
to create "ghosedt" nodes that do not yet exist to find out their
type, the revert the dgmod, but i'd rather not have to do that.

i've searched for this before without avail, but it's biting me
again in a different context, so i thought i'd check:
is there a way to get the typeId of a node without having an
existing instance of the node?
i would expect a static method on MFnDependencyNode, like the following:
MFnDependencyNode.getTypeId('transform')
but i can't find anything....
