Description

The Property keyword defines a controlled access to class fields. 
 
It is an Object Oriented concept that internals of an object should be hidden from the outside. Whilst you can allow fields (data) in a class to be directly externally accessible (by placing in the public or published sections), this is unwise. Instead, Property can be used to define how the data is read and written. 
 
Versions 1, 2 and 3 These basic forms define read, write or read and write access to class fields. The data Type is returned from the field or method called Getter. The data is updated via the Setter field or method. 
 
Note that you must use a different name for the Name and for Getter and Setter. For example: Property Age read fAge write fAge; You would use field names when there is no vetting or retrieval processing required. When using a method to read or write, the read or written value can be a lot simpler than the stored value. The stored value can even be entirely different. 
 
Versions 4, 5 and 6 Using the Index keyword tells Delphi to pass the Constant value as the argument to the Getter and Setter methods. These must be functions that take this constant index value as an argument. 
 
For example: Property Item2 : string Index 2 read ItemGetter; where ItemGetter is defined as : Function ItemGetter(Index : Integer) : string; Default provides run time information for the property. NoDefault does not. Stored is beyond the scope of Delphi Basics. 
 
Versions 7, 8 and 9 This is a generalised version of versions 4,5 and 6. It requests the user to provide the index value for the Getter and Setter methods. 
 
Default allows the Getter and Setter method calls to be replaced as in the following example : myValue := MyClass.Getter(23); can be replaced by : myValue := MyCLass[23]; 
 
Version 10 Allows the implementation of an Interface method to be delegated to a property. Access to the property invokes the interface implementation. 
 
Version 11 By redclaring a parent class property, you can do so in a public or published clause, thereby raising the access rights of the property. 
 
Versions 12, 13 and 14 Are relevant for dispinterfaces, outside the scope of delphi basics.
