The created control can be handled by a Control variable. In this case, the assignment must be performed by the '<-' operator.

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

Name that will be given to the new control. This name will be used to handle the control by programming.
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: specify the full name of control to create. For example: "Tab[1].Button2".
• Creating an edit column in a Table control: specify the typColumn type and the name of Table control 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: specify the type of column and the name of Table control before the column name. For example:
  
  // Image column
  c2 is Control <- ControlCreate("Table1.Col3", typImage)
  c2..Width = 50
  
• Creating tab panes : specify the typTabPane type and the tab name. For example:
  
  ControlCreate("TAB1", typTabPane)
