Object = NEW Class [ ( Constructor parameters... ) ] [ AS Name ]
Instantiates the class Class.
If a name is specified, the new object will be able to raise events by calling a public procedure or function in its "parent".
![]() |
NEW is not an operator. You can only use it within an assignment.
But you can use the Object.New function instead. |
![]() | Two different objects can have the same event name. Thus, you can manage events of multiple objects in the same event procedure, provided these objects raise the same events. |
hButton = NEW Button(ME) AS "MyButton" ... PUBLIC PROCEDURE MyButton_Click() PRINT "My button was clicked !" END

Object = NEW ( ClassName [ , Constructor parameters... ] ) [ AS Name ]
That second syntax allows to specify the class name dynamically as a string.
' This creates an 3x3 array of float. DIM MyArray AS NEW Float[3, 3] ' And this too DIM MyArray AS Object DIM MyClassName AS String MyClassName = "Float[]" MyArray = NEW (MyClassName, 3, 3)
