CreateInstance

Usage
Depending on the syntax allowed by the version of the program you're interacting with, arguments might be used inside brackets or outside.
The best way for Microsoft™ applications is to initially test your code with a macro of the manipulation you're expecting to do. Depending on the method used, arguments may or may not be optional.
In case of error, result is set to -1. Use GetError
to
get the description of the error.
