Inno Setup: Custom classes [duplicate]

Question

Does Inno Setup allow to create own classes after 'type' keyword? I've tried to inherit from TBitmapImage:

[Code]
type
    TBitmapButton = class(TBitmapImage)
        property OnHoverImage: TAlphaBitmap;
        procedure Hovering(IsHovered: Boolean);
    end;

But compiler said that 'Identifier expected' in the begining of class declaration.

I think the short answer to your question is no. According to this help topic on the InnoSetup website about a similar matter:

http://news.jrsoftware.org/news/innosetup.code/msg25634.html

It says in part:

RemObjects Pascal doesn't support custom ([Code] created) classes.

So I don't think you can do what you are desiring. The above discussion thread mentions a possible workaround:

You can define a "record" containing all of the desired fields, and an "array of" your record type to create a dynamically-expandable indexed list of them.

You can't define methods or constructors/destructors directly attached to these, but you can define loose procedures/functions that do the equivalent.

That's as close to custom classes as you're going to get in ROPS.

I do not know if that will be sufficient for your needs.

If you need to research InnoSetup code functionality there is a great resource here:
