Description

Finds and returns a class that is derived from TPersistent.

Call FindClass to locate a class type by name. FindClass searches the classes that the streaming system knows about. Classes can be registered with a call to RegisterClasses so that the streaming system will recognize that class in a stream and know how to construct it.

If the requested class name cannot be found, FindClass raises an exception.
