Syntax

objAuto=CreateObject(xtra"VbScriptXtra",strProgId)
or
objAuto=xtra("VbScriptXtra").CreateObject(strProgId)

Parameters

strProgId - a string specifying which object to create. For a list of possible ProgIds see FAQ section.

Returns

Object: if successful, returns new VbScriptXtra wrapper instance for newly created automation object ProgId.

String: if failed, returns string with error description.

Description

This method is an analogue to Visual Basic's CreateObject. It is used to create new automation objects. Therefore, it is a main entry point while using VbScriptXtra.

Every creatable automation object defines its own progId. For example, use:
"Word.Application" to run Microsoft Word.
