Hello,

I have this structure:

  generic TMyGeneric<T> = class
  end;

  TMyGenericClass = class of TMyGeneric;
That must not compile. This is a bug.

  TMyType = class
  end;

  TMyClass1 = specialize TMyGeneric<TMyType>;

  TMyClass2 = class(specialize TMyGeneric<TMyType>)
  end;

...

procedure RegisterItem(AItemClass: TMyGenericClass);
begin
end;

OK, but when I try:

RegisterItem(TMyClass1);

Return:

Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got "Class Of TMyGeneric$TMyType", expected "TMyGenericClass".

Or:

RegisterItem(TMyClass2);

Return:

Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got "Class Of TMyClass2", expected "TMyGenericClass"

So, which syntax to use generic and meta class?
You can't. A generic is by definition not a fully existant type. You can only work with specializations. E.g. TFPGList<> circumvents this by having the main implementation of the list inside a non generic TFPSList type which TFPGList<> derives from.
