What are good uses for class helpers?

I’m using them:

  • To insert enumerators into VCL classes that don’t implement them.
  • To enhance VCL classes.
  • To add methods to the TStrings class so I can use the same methods in my derived lists and in TStringList.

    TGpStringListHelper = class helper for TStringList
    public
      function  Last: string;
      function  Contains(const s: string): boolean;
      function  FetchObject(const s: string): TObject;
      procedure Sort;
      procedure Remove(const s: string);
    end; { TGpStringListHelper }
    
  • To simplify access to record fields and remove casting.
