Description

The NEWOBJECT() function is used to create a new object. The <expC1> is the class on which the new object is based. If <expC1> is defined in a class library, the class library can be specified in <expC2>, otherwise it must be explicitly opened with SET CLASSLIB. If the class library does not have a '.vcp' extension, the full filename should be specified. Parameters can be passed to the object's init method in <exp1>, <exp2>, ... .

The NEWOBJECT() function returns a reference to the newly created object.

Example

// myclasslib.vcp
define class Product as custom
	productname = "Lianja App Builder"
	version = "1.0"
	proc init(arg1)
		? etos(arg1)
	endproc
	proc getver
		? this.version
	endproc
enddefine
// end of myclasslib.vcp
 
oProduct = newobject("Product","myclasslib","Hello World")
