How to tell if a pending order has been activated???

 
I've written my EA so that it always places pending orders.  If I want my program to go back later and check if that pending order has been activated what is the easiest way to determine that?  If the order gets activated, does the OrderType change?

Yes, check your position (ticket?) with OrderSelect() and OrderType()..
