Rajani,

First, it seems you can cut straight to adding the object, assuming that the name of the class in the VCX is ctrlHeight.

thisform.newObject('cntheight','ctrlheight','D:\VSSLocal\vip\ctrHeight.VCX')

But it appears from your example that 'cntHeight' is a property inside the class. If that is true, you might want to:

thisform.newObject('cnt','ctrlheight','D:\VSSLocal\vip\ctrHeight.VCX')
thisform.cnt.cntHeight = .t.

HTH.
