Hi Derek,

Ooops.

First you need to figure out the difference between a class, classlibrary and an object. It's not very tricky

The Object is a representation (aka instance) of a class in memory. A classlib is a container that stores class definitions

So you have instantiaded a object goMyClass of the class MyClass. createobject works fine as long set classlib is set in the right way or theclasslib could be find otherwise. Assuming you have instantiadted the object you can acces is methods, events and properties (PEM) via the object variable

This is

goMyClass.caption

is the caption of the object. If the class has a button cmd1 then

goMyClass.cmd1.caption

is the caption of cmd1

this works with any PEM

so

goMyClass.cmd1.visible = !goMyClass.cmd1.visible

will toggle the visibility of the button.

So if you like to show the form

goMyClass.show()

will do the job.

the other proble is what you mean with correct order.

You need to understand the idea of EVENTS

If you instantiate an object, a bunch of events will fire. Check help for reference.

If instantiaded you nedd to show the form (see above)

Now it depends what your form will do.
