I know that there is the OpenUserObject function that allows creating a userobject variable where the object name is in a string.

I want to do it with non-visual userobjects and OpenUserObject only works with dragobject (visual) and the parent must be a window or visual userobject.

Any ideas?

 

itemchanged event?
Toolbar height?

Hi, Roland -

Have you considered Syntax 2 of the CREATE PowerScript statement:

   CREATE USING objecttypestring

where objecttypestring is a string whose value is the name of the class datatype to be created.

Best regards, John

Hi John;

Yes, my STD framework uses the Create & Open commands from a string almost exclusively as that is how I support multiple languages. ;-)

Regards... Chris

Thanks to both of you. I probably used this a long time ago and had forgotten.

Hi Roland, you can do it like this:

object nvo

nvo = create using 'object_descendant'
