>>>So, NewObject can be used in either case. AddObject is only used with a container. CreateObject would be used in a non-visual, non-container class. I can use either NewObject or CreateObject in my case then. Why even have CreateObject if NewObject can do the same thing?

Newobject came about long after createobject. All of this is beside the point though. Hard coding classnames with newobject or createobject limits your flexibility. Use an abstract factory object. You give it a name and it looks up the name in a table and gets the classlib and classname from the table.
