In case you need to, at runtime, create form parts, this is the right article for you.

The following code should be a foundation for what you are trying to do. In this case we are dynamically creating a formpart on the current form for every site we have in the company:

        InventSite inventSite;
        #define.TabControlName('MyControl')
        ;
        while select inventSite
        {
            var tabbedListsControl = sender.form().design().control(formControlStr(MyWorkspace, TabbedLists));
            
            var newtabPage = tabbedListsControl.addControl(FormControlType::TabPage, 
                                                           #TabControlName+inventSite.SiteId);
            newtabPage.caption(inventSite.SiteId);
            newtabPage.hideIfEmpty(false);
            
            var formBuildPartControl = newtabPage.addControlEx(classstr(FormPartControl), 
                                       #ControlName+inventSite.SiteId) as FormBuildPartControl;
            
            formBuildPartControl.widthMode(FormWidth::SizeToContent);
            formBuildPartControl.heightMode(FormHeight::SizeToAvailable);
            formBuildPartControl.targetName(menuItemDisplayStr(MyFormPart));
            formBuildPartControl.parmRunMode(FormPartControlRunMode::Local);
            
        }

Each control will be called MyControl and the SiteId.
