Create a new file

[Covert2String]

Hello, I'll try to explain the best I can. So, I need to create an application with code, for example: the main Application would have a textbox where you write your name, then it would generate a new Application with your name as the form title (great example, I know).

Thanks in advance <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

form2.text = textbox1.text
form2.show

I've not explained myself properly, I want to create a NEW file from a base application, like: My main application has a function called Generate Exe, which gets the name I wrote, and creates a new EXE file with that setting.

I know what you're saying. Now I am by no means no expert on this, but here are some links to help you out. I used what you're talking about in the Plugin system for TwitControl.
