Well, here’s another beginners question.
I’m trying for the first time to ‘create’ a Control and use it, like this:

Everything looks fine. The button appears where it should. Gambas doesn’t  throw any errors at me.
So why doesn’t clicking MyButton work?
I can’t find any really clear and simple examples on how to use created controls.

 You need to set the handler name using As

Dim myButton As Button = New Button(Me) As "MyButton"

Probably best to not create the button in the public namespace and put on the form open function.

So…

Public MyButton As Button

Public Sub Form_Open()

With MyButton = New Button(Me) As "MyButton"

Etc….

Thanks Bruce.
Now I'm getting somewhere …..
But it would be a lot easier for a beginner if there were some examples to be found, wouldn't it.

Have a look at this example here.

The use of Quit is not recommended for GUI programs, you should use Me.Close.

You are using the New keyword.
