Creating class objects through its name stored in a string?

Question

Is it possible to create a class object at run time by retrieving the name of the class stored in a string?

for example: I want to create an object of class QButton , for example

 QString strClassName = "QButton"; QButton *pBtn = new strClassName(); 

I want to read the xml file of all the controls and instantiate them at runtime using this method.
