The new control can be handled with a variable of type Control. In this case, values must be assigned with the '<-' operator.

If ControlCreate is used directly, the control is created in the window and is visible by default.

Name that will be given to the new control. This name will be used to handle the control programmatically.
A WLanguage error occurs if this name already exists.
If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), a unique name is automatically created.

Special cases:

• Creating a control in a "Parent" control. In this case, simply indicate the full name of the control you want to create.. Example: "Tab[1].Button2".
• Creating an input column in a Table control. In this case, use the typColumn type and the Table control name before the column name. For example:
  

  // Edit + Date column 
  c <- ControlCreate("TABLE1.COL3", typColumn)
  c.Width = 100
  c.InputType = typInputDate

• Creating a simple column in a Table control. In this case, simply specify the column type and the Table control name before the column name. For example:
  

  // Image column 
  c2 is Control <- ControlCreate("Table1.Col3", typImage)
  c2.Width = 50

• Creating tab panes. In this case, use the typTabPane type and the tab name. For example:
  

  ControlCreate("TAB1", typTabPane)

• Creating a Text token edit control. In this case, create a text edit control and enable tokens. For example:
  

  MyControl is Control <- ControlCreate("test", typText, 10, 10, 250, 25)
  MyControl.TokenEnabled = True
