how can I get the ClassType from a Class method?

Question

How do I return the type of a class in a class method?

In a regular method, I can use self.ClassType, but there doesn't seem to be a class method on TObject that achieves this (although I can get the ClassName).

class function TSomething.MyClass: TClass;
begin
  //what goes here?
end;

Answer 1

In a class method the TClassType is just Self

class function TSomething.MyClass: TClass;
begin
  result := Self;
end;
