My experience with the help in D2006 hasn't been very good. It's almost devoid of examples! But I'll give it a shot and see what I come up with. Also that's interesting about TObject. Has it been that way since version 1? I was under the assumption that this was something new but maybe not. As I've never even looked at the code for that class I think now would be a good time for me to check it out!

In the Delphi 2005 help, the address for the class-helper topic is ms-help://borland.bds3/bds3guide/html/ClassHelpers.htm. If the address isn't similar for Delphi 2006, try finding it by searching the help for "helper." > How exactly are they > formatted and used? What restrictions are there? I found a few interesting discussions form the following search. http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q=class+helper&as_ugroup=*delphi* > Can they exist globally > for all projects if the unit they are declared in is placed in the lib path? Presumably so. TObject itself uses a class helper on System.Object. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
