Yup, i can do that too. Now try creating a class in the IDE called "Tester", then call NewInstanceMBS("Tester"). You'll see that you get nil back.

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've this in my plugins for some time now:

NewInstanceMBS(ClassName as string) as object

Can be used like this:

dim o as Object
dim d as Dictionary

o=NewInstanceMBS("Dictionary")
if o isa Dictionary then
  d=Dictionary(o)
end if
