If you use my NO Dynamic Snippet which comes with Thor, live is very simple. For instance type "no this.cntTimer cnt" and press the hot key you have assigned, in my case it's F5. Then you get a list of all classes in your current project and MRU which starts with cnt. Select the one you want, and you end up with the correct syntax, for instance

this.NewObject('cntTimer','cntmonth', 'novaformobjects.vcx')

NO also supports wild cards, so you don't have to remember the correct class name or in which classlib you stored it.
