object instantiation

[drkbkr]

Hello all,

I come from a Java background where you can, given just a String that represents a class name, create an instance of that class. Something like:

Class c = Class.forName("com.foo.MyClass");
MyObject o = c.newInstance();

Class c = Class.forName("com.foo.MyClass");
MyObject o = c.newInstance();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Is there a similar mechanism provided by Qt? Or C++ in general?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Derek
