[DUG] Creating an object at run time.

[Todd Martin]

b := TComponentClass(FindClass('TButton')).Create(nil);
propinfo := GetPropInfo(b.classinfo,'left');
SetOrdProp(b,propinfo,100);

> I want to create an object at runtime given a string with the object type. Is this possible or do I need to do a whole pile of if then else's? There is a limited number of different objects that need to be created. I then want to access the created objects properties by name and assign methods.
