New Operator


The New operator allocates and initializes a new COM object of the named class.

Syntax

Set objectVar = New className

Dim objectVar As New className

Argument
Description
objectVar
The COM object to allocate and initialize
className
The class to assign to the object

Returns

Not applicable

Usage

In the Dim statement, New marks objectVar so that a new object is allocated and initialized when objectVar is first used. If objectVar is not referenced, then no new object is allocated.

NOTE:  An object variable that was declared with New allocates a second object if objectVar is Set to Nothing and referenced again.
