No just a standard VCL Application

I am trying to create a function that creates a class at runtime lie this: function CreateDescentantClass( pcAncestorClass : TClass; const psDescendentClassName : String ): Class; begin Result := psDescendentClassName of pcAncestorClass; end; Is this possible? I am using Delphi Alexandria

Came in the mail, got two copies, even though I only ordered one.

Using the above as a starting point I have been able to write a function as asked for at the start. It has not solved my problem so far, but the function works. I have attached this function unt_myforms.pas

I have downloaded Spring4D. I have looked for something to give me some idea about what it is. I cannot understand the purpose of Spring4d is, and I am not sure how it could help me, as I don't know what it is or what it does.

Okay, the requirement is to build a Delphi form descendant from a pre-existing form class adding to it a set of component definitions sent to the Delphi Application in a stream. The Delphi Application has no prior knowledge on what these components are and where they will be placed. It does however receive a form name and form version for these components. The process is already running and working. But speed is a critical factor and there is a need to increase performance. As a result of this, my idea is to build a new form class, then store it locally in a component resource file. Using WriteComponentResFile and ReadComponentResFile functions. Only when the version of the set of component definitions change then to recreate this resource.

I am trying to access the on download completed event in TEdgeBrowser to no avail. Has anyone been able to access these events? I have attached my current attempts to access the API for downloads. GWSEdgeAPI.pas

Okay after much trial and error, have exposed the events required WebExtended.7z
