What is the exact meaning of CreateObject()

[Rajashekar Gouda]

Hi I am begginer to QTP and using since 8 months,I am working on Data Driven Framwork. Because of that i have not come across using the CreateObject()...i have seen in many framework they are using the that common.d

Can i know what exeactly the meaning the CreateObject and what is the use of that commond..

And my second question is some times we are going to as

Code:

"Set App = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")"

here since we know the mane of QTP is "QuickTest" so we used as "QuickTest.Application")".

But there is new application like xls or outlook or any pdf file if i want to createObject for that application, from where i have to get the application name.
