[DUG] Creating an object at run time.

[russell]

Are there reasons you would avoid making the objects at development time as
not visible and making them visible only when needed?
Stated without negatives, make the objects now, make them invisible and when
needed make them visible.

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.

This is not for oleobjects, but VCL controls.

i.e. 
b := CreateObject('TButton') ;
b.GetField('left') := 100 ;
...

Help on any of these would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Dave.
