Can I annotate class of some object as type?

Question

I want to create a

TDictionary<string, class of TControl>

that - as you can see - holds pairs of strings and references to TControl class definition to be able to call Create method on the dictionary elements at runtime.

Can I?

Answer 1

The syntax you need is as follows:

type
  TControlClass = class of TControl;

And then you can declare the dictionary:

var
  Dict: TDictionary<string, TControlClass>;
