CreateObject()

In addition to the built-in objects that are passed to you by Commando, you can also create your own objects by using the CreateObject() function

CreateObject - Creates a system object

Description

Use the CreateObject() function to create system objects like FileSystem objects, MSXML objects, ADO Connections, Recordsets, Streams

object = CreateObject("<objectname.classname>")

Returns an object or generates an error

Example 1: Creating an ADO Connection object

Dim myObj

Set myObj = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Example 2: Creating a file system object

The following code illustrates how the FileSystemObject is used to return a TextStream object that can be read from or written to:

Private Sub CreateATestFile()

Dim fs, a

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set a = fs.CreateTextFile("c:\testfile.txt", True)

a.WriteLine("This is a test.")

a.Close

'Do Cleanup

Set a = Nothing

Set fs = Nothing

End Sub
