public property TCustomEdit.Text : TCaption; |
Text is a TCaption property which contains the UTF-8-encoded characters maintained as the value for the edit control. The value in Text is read and written using the RealGetText and RealSetText methods. Not only do they provide code compatibility with the Delphi VCL, they support use of emulated TextHint displays. The value in TextHint is assigned to Text when the inline hint text is displayed for the control.
The value in Text may be altered in the TextChanged method when the setting in CharCase requires case conversion for the value in the control.
