When to use TLMDClassPropEditor::SetStrValue and when to use SetOrdValue

nSolve Ltd

The example Picture property inspector editor calls SetOrdValue, I'm trying to create a RTFEditor that saves a string to the underlying visual object. Should I use SetStrValue or SetOrdValue?

Using SetStrValue I'm not seeing the result I would expect

That's depend of property type your editor is created for. If the property is of string type - then yes, you should call SetStrValue. You can send simple isolated demo project to our support e-mail, I'll look.

Thanks. It was actually a TStrings property I'm trying to edit and by looking at the source for your TLMDStringsPropEditor I could see what to do - namely use SetObjectValue:

procedure TLMDStringsPropEditor.Edit;

var

  LDlg: TLMDStringsEditorDialog;

begin

  LDlg := TLMDStringsEditorDialog.Create(Application);

  try

    LDlg.Lines := TStrings(GetObjectValue(0));

    if LDlg.Execute then

      SetObjectValue(LDlg.Lines);

  finally

    LDlg.Free;

  end;

end;

Thanks
