on a form i have a shortcut menu which allows the user to start the msagent. the following command to initiate the agent works great:

THIS.AgentObject = CREATEOBJECT("Agent.Control")

however, i need to fill some of the methods and events in the agent, so i created a sub class in my .vcx. now i am trying to call the agent as follows:

THIS.AgentObject = NewOBJECT("msagent", "classes\msagent_wrapper.vcx")

here i am getting the error "Object Class is invalid for this container". Why can i do it 1 way but not the other, and what can i do about it since i need to populate the methods/events with some code?

I know, that some objects can not be added/bound to certain objects, however, since the 1st command worked i expected the 2nd to work as well. I don't realy want to add the ole to a form, since i'd like the agent to be more global, which works with the first solution greatly.

please help somebody
thanks in advance
