Text property contains a text string associated with the control.
We use the Text property to read the Text of the control or to specify a new string for the Text value. By default, Text is the control name. For edit controls and memos, the Text appears within the control. For combo boxes, the Text is the content of the edit control portion of the combo box.

The ClassType method or DelphiVCL.Application.ClassType is used to return the class reference for the object’s class.
Note: ClassType dynamically determines the type of an object and returns its class reference, or metaclass.
Avoid using ClassType in…
The ClassName method or DelphiVCL.Application.ClassName is used to return a string indicating the type of the object instance (as opposed to the type of the variable passed as an argument).
Use ClassName to obtain the class name from an object instance or class…
The ClassInfo method or DelphiVCL.Application.ClassInfo is used to return a pointer to the run-time type information (RTTI) table for the object type.
ClassInfo provides access to the RTTI table for a given object type.
Some classes do not provide run-time type information. For these classes, ClassInfo returns nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++). All classes descended from TPersistent do…
The CancelHint method or DelphiVCL.Application.CancelHint is used to cancel the display of a hint for a control.
Applications rarely, if ever, call CancelHint directly. CancelHint is used internally to cancel the display of hints at appropriate times, such as when a…

We use Caption to specify a text string that identifies the control to the user.
To underline a character in a Caption that labels a component, include an ampersand (&) before the character. This type of character is called an accelerator character. The user can then select the component by pressing ALT while typing the underlined character. To display an ampersand character in the…
We use the Parent property to get or set the parent of the control. The parent of a control is the control that contains it. For example, if an application includes three radio buttons in a group box, the group box is the parent of the three radio buttons, and the radio…
We use TextRect to write a string inside a clipping rectangle or within a limited rectangular region. Any portions of the string that fall outside the rectangle passed in the Rect parameter are clipped and don’t appear. The upper left corner of the text is placed at…
OnClose event occurs when the form closes.
We use OnClose to perform special processing when the form closes. The OnClose event specifies which event handler to call when a form is about to close. The handler specified by OnClose might, for example, test to make sure all fields in a data-entry form have valid contents before allowing the form to close.
A form is closed by the Close…
