Cetin explained a "how" to do it, now here's an explanation of "where" and "why":

You could put your code in a lot of different places, like the Init method of the page or in the Activate method of the page, using the Page's AddObject method. You don't put code *in* the AddObject method, you *use* the add object method by calling it. So to add an object to the page (say a textbox):

Page Init method:

this.AddObject("YourNewControlName","TextBox")
WITH this.YourNewControlName
  .Left = 10
  .Top = 10
  .Visible = .T.
ENDWITH

Page Activate method (need to check if it exists first):

IF NOT PEMSTATUS(this,"YourNewControlName",5)
  this.AddObject("YourNewControlName","TextBox")
  WITH this.YourNewControlName
    .Left = 10
    .Top = 10
    .Visible = .T.
  ENDWITH
ENDIF
