Usage of this function is nolonger recommended; use sm_obj_create instead to ensure component portability.The COM component must support the IDispatch interface (the “automationinterface”) so that properties can be set and methods can be called. For returns greaterthan zero, the call has succeeded and the object ID will be used to access thecomponent.For ActiveX controls, you do not call this function. The ActiveX container in thePanther editor specifies the name and CLSID of the component, and makes this call onyour behalf.Example//The following JPL procedures create a variable// and instantiate the control.vars idproc entryid = sm_com_obj_create("cCustomers")returnSee Alsosm_obj_createUpgrade Guide C-9
