TcxCustomBlobEditProperties.BlobEditKind Property

Specifies the type of data contained within a BLOB editor.

Declaration

property BlobEditKind: TcxBlobEditKind read; write; default bekAuto;

Property Value

Type	Default
TcxBlobEditKind	bekAuto

Remarks

Use the BlobEditKind property to specify the type of data stored within a BLOB editor.

Value	Meaning
bekAuto	Stored data type is obtained from the database field settings (for DB aware BLOB editors only).
bekBlob	BLOB data.
bekMemo	Memo data.
bekOle	OLE data.
bekPict	An image.

Each data type supported by the BLOB edit has its own visual representation within an editor (if the BlobPaintStyle property is set to bpsIcon value). Data of the Memo and Image types can be edited via the BLOB editor initially, but the BLOB and OLE data editing must be implemented by a user. So the bekBlob and bekOle values are used only for visual representation purposes.
