Class Helpers
Records with Methods
Class Variables, Types and Consts, Class Properties, Static Class Methods
<delphi> program ClassTest;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
type
TSomeClass = class private type TSomeType = type integer; // an internal type class var FSomeClassVar: TSomeType; // class variable belongs to class, not an instance var FSomeIntanceVar: TSomeType; // instance variable belongs to instance. it is a usual field class procedure SetSomeClassVar(const AValue: TSomeType); static; public class property SomeProperty: TSomeType read FSomeClassVar write SetSomeClassVar; // class property - belongs to class property SomeInstanceProp: TSomeType read FSomeIntanceVar; end;
{ TSomeClass }
class procedure TSomeClass.SetSomeClassVar(const AValue: TSomeType); begin
FSomeClassVar := AValue;
end;
var
SomeClass: TSomeClass;
begin
SomeClass.SomeProperty := 1; WriteLn(SomeClass.SomeProperty);
end. </delphi>

New since Delphi 2010

AS and IS extended for interfaces

Misc:
- {$SCOPEDENUMS ON} directive which allows to use enumeration name before the item. Example:
<delphi> type
TColor = (red, green, blue);
begin
WriteLn(ord(TColor.red));
end; </delphi>
- {$pointermath ON} directive which turns on pointer arithmetic.
