Not even that afaik. They make a static method appear as it is a member of a class namespace, and only if you import it correctly. I don't think class helpers are a real language instrument. They are more a workaround for certain cases when other classes are set in stone. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
