So, the CreateControl doesn't seem to create a visual UI element, or should it?

When is either or used? Couldn't find a list of valid virtual names.

     CreateControl(string arg1, object parent, integer type)
        Returns: object apRet 

    CreateControlFromVirtual(string controlName, object parent, string virtualName)
        Returns: object apRet

Sigh, just the API is not too helpful ;-)
