To create an instance of a workplace object class:

• Select the class from the list in the Workplace Object Class window.
  
• Display the pop-up menu by clicking mouse button 2.
  
• Select the Create Instance choice.

  Note: Only an instance of a physical workplace object class can be created. In other words, you cannot create instances of WPObject or WPClass because they are not physical classes.

  Complete the following input fields:

  Object Title

  The text string you assign to the object. The text string becomes the object title and appears under the object when the object is displayed on the Workplace Shell. When the object is in an opened state, the text string appears in the title bar of the window.
  Class of new object
  The name of the class of which the object you selected is a member.
  Parameters
  A series of keyname=value pairs (separated by semicolons) that change the behavior of the object. Each object class defines the key names and parameters it expects to see. All parameters have safe defaults, so it is never required that parameters be passed to an object.
  Location
  A real name specified by a fully qualified file specification, such as C:\OS2\DLL\MINXOBJ.DLL, or a logical name specified by a predefined symbol.

  Examples of logical names include the following:

  LOCATION_NOWHERE

  Hidden folder
  LOCATION_DESKTOP
  OS/2 Desktop (Workplace)
  LOCATION_SYSTEM
  OS/2 System folder
  LOCATION_TEMPLATES
  Template folder
  LOCATION_SYSTEMSETUP
  System setup folder
  LOCATION_STARTUP
  Startup folder
  LOCATION_INFORMATION
  Information folder
  LOCATION_DRIVES
  Drives folder
