DIM hLabel AS Label

hLabel = NEW Label(MyForm) AS "MyLabelName"

There is no difference between using the previous code or create the control 
in the form editor. The same code is generated and compiled. Controls are 
classes like the others (they just inherit the 'Control' class), and can be 
created with the NEW method.
