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 through 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 the control to be created. For example: "Tab[1].Button2".
• Creating an edit column in a Table control: specify the typColumn type and name of the 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)
  
• Creating a Text token edit control: Simply create a text edit control and enable tokens. For example:
  
  MyControl is Control <- ControlCreate("test", typText, 10, 10, 250, 25)
  MyControl.TokenEnabled = True

Vertical position of the upper-left corner of the control, relative to the upper-left corner of the window's client area (i.e. the window without title bar, menu bar or borders). This parameter corresponds to the YInitial property.

If this parameter is not specified, the Y-coordinate of control is set to 0.

This value can be changed with the Y property.
