Does anyone know of any code hacks that would allow a developer to instantiate a custom class from within the IDE by name?

example:
dim instance as Object = NewInstanceOfObjectByName("MyCustomClass")

I'd suspect you could quite possibly do this in a plugin with the dynamic API but not in native RB Code

I don't think it's possible to do this for RB-made classes, but it has been possible for intrinsic and plugin classes even before the dynamic API was introduced.

I'm not sure I see the point though - even if you could do this, you'd need to cast "instance" to "MyCustomClass" before you can do anything useful with it.
