__classid(classType)
Description
The __classid operator was added to support the VCL framework. You can use it to obtain the metaclass of a TObject-based class (a Delphi-style class).
For example, __classid is used when registering property editors, components, and classes, and with the InheritsFrom method of TObject. The following code illustrates the use of __classid for creating a new component derived from TWinControl:
namespace Ywndctrl { void __fastcall PACKAGE Register() { TComponentClass classes[1] = {__classid(MyWndCtrl)}; RegisterComponents("Additional", classes, 0); } }
