Hey folks,

VFP6 includes the new function NewObject() which can be used in place of CreateObject(). What's the benefit, the NewObject() function will take the class library as an agrument eliminating the need to SET CLASSLIB before you create the object. The syntax for NewObject() is listed below.

NEWOBJECT(cClassName [, cModule [, cInApplication ;
          [, eParameter1, eParameter2, ...]]])

The arguments are;

cClassName is the name of the class to uyse in creating the object
cModule is the name of the class library or prg in which the class
is defined
cInApplication is the app or exe file that contains the class
definition
The rest are optional parameters that will be passed on to the object's Init

This function saves a lot of code when creating objects. You don't need to open all classlibs in the startup program yet you can create objects from those libraries by using the NewObject function.
