Containers don't have a CreateObject() method, they only have AddObject()

and NewObject().

1. You could issue DODEFAULT(Parms...) in one of those methods and then add

code to that method to return a reference to the object added:

PROCEDURE AddObject()

PARAMETERS cName, cClass, Init1, Init2, ...

DODEFAULT(cName,cClass,Init1,Init2...)

RETURN THIS.&cName.

ENDPROC

2. You could, as suggested, manipulate the object immediately after it's added:

THIS.AddObject("oBlah","ClassBlah")

WITH THIS.oBlah

....etc.

ENDWITH

3. You could increment a counter property on the container object and

concatenate its value to the name of the object when you add it, so you

will always be able to find the most recently-added object by the appended

digit(s).

PROCEDURE AddObject

PARAMETERS cName, cClass, Init1, Init2, ...

NODEFAULT

cName = TRANSFORM(THIS.ObjectCounter) + cName

THIS.ObjectCounter = THIS.ObjectCounter + 1

DODEFAULT(cName,cClass,Init1,Init2...)

ENDPROC

4. You could do number 3, above, using a timestamp instead of a number.
