TcxPropertiesStoreComponent.Properties Property

Specifies the properties of a component to store/restore using a storage.

Declaration

property Properties: TStrings read; write;

Property Value

Type
TStrings

Remarks

Use the Properties property to specify which published properties of a component will be saved/restored. To specify the component itself, see the Component property.

Note that only existing properties can be saved. If the component to store does not have a property with a name in the Properties list, this property is ignored.

If a property relates to a TPersistent descendant, you can store its specific attributes. To specify the attributes to store, you need to add a string consisting of the property and attribute names delimited by a dot. For instance, if you wish to save only the Height sub-property of the Font property, you need to add the “Font.Height“ string to the Properties string list. If you specify the control’s Font property to store, all its published sub-properties (Charset, Color, Height, Name, Pitch, Size and Style) will be automatically saved.

Note that if your property references a TComponent descendant, only the object’s Name is saved in this case. See example for details.
