Instantiates a class whose class type and any parameters are known only at run time. This method returns a Progress.Lang.Object, which provides an instance of a class. The New( ) method provides similar functionality to the DYNAMIC-NEW function. The advantage to the latter is that it has a fixed, compile-time parameter list and does not require the creation of a Progress.Lang.ParameterList object at run time.
Return type: Progress.Lang.Object class
Access: PUBLIC
Applies to: Progress.Lang.Class class
The class type to instantiate is specified by the TypeName property of the applicable Progress.Lang.Class instance.
Two overloaded versions are supported. The first version is used when the constructor of the class does not take any arguments.
You can use the second overloaded version of the New( ) method when the constructor of a class takes zero or more parameters. Since a parameterlist-object can be built with zero or more parameters, this version of the New( ) method can be used to instantiate any class, even those classes whose constructor does not take any arguments.
The AVM raises a run-time error if the Unknown value (?) is passed for parameterlist-object.
