Using a C++ Class in Delphi

[alank2 5]

Is there a way to do this?  What I have done successfully is create functions that access the class, put them in a DLL, and then call that DLL from Delphi which does work, but if there is another way it is probably an easier way.

You can't avoid implementing the C++ class in a DLL or BPL, unfortunately.  However, Delphi can use the C++ object directly if it is derived from a Delphi class (ie, TObject or descendant), or is accessible using an abstract interface that is also defined on the Delphi side, or is accessible via/as a COM object.  Otherwise, you are stuck using plain C-style wrapper functions, as you already have.
