TMetaClass is the C++ representation of the Object Pascal class-reference type.
Header

class PACKAGE TMetaClass;
typedef TMetaClass* TClass;
Description
TMetaClass allows operations to be performed directly on classes. This contrasts with class types, which can be instantiated as objects and which allow operations to be performed on those instances. The TMetaClass for a given class can be acquired by using the __classid keyword extension.
A variable of type TMetaClass can be NULL, which indicates that the variable does not currently reference a class.
