Some variance/idea of singleton pattern. TFoo might be used as namespace: ===code begin=== var Foo: TFooClass; // or Foo: TFoo begin WriteLn(Foo.F); end; ===code end=== for regular "property" with "class methods" you need something like this: ===code begin=== var Foo: TFooClass; begin Foo := TFoo; WriteLn(Foo.E); end; ===code end=== and for normal property: ===code begin=== var Foo: TFoo; begin Foo := TFoo.Create; WriteLn(Foo.D); end; ===code end=== > True. > OTOH you loose some possibilities. > True. -- Best regards, Maciej Izak
