TestField.Caption() Method
Version: Available or changed with runtime version 1.0.
Gets the current caption of the field as a String.
Syntax
Result := TestField.Caption()
Note
This method can be invoked using property access syntax.
Parameters
TestField
Type: TestField
An instance of the TestField data type.
Return Value
Result
Type: Text
The current caption of the field as a String.
Remarks
Caption returns the caption of a field. Caption first looks for a CaptionML Property.
If it does not find one, it will use the Name Property. This means that Caption is enabled for multilanguage functionality.
This method is similar to the FieldCaption Method (Record) method.
Example
The following example opens table 18 (Customer) as a RecordRef variable that is named CustomerRecref. The code uses the Field Method (RecordRef) to loop through field 1 through 9 and creates a FieldRef variable that is named MyFieldRef. For each field, the Caption method retrieves the caption of the field, stores it in the varCaption variable and displays it in a message box.
var
CustomerRecRef: RecordRef;
MyFieldRef: FieldRef;
varCaption: Text;
i: Integer;
Text000: Label 'The caption for field %1 is "%2".';
begin
CustomerRecref.Open(18);
for i := 1 to 9 do begin
MyFieldRef := CustomerRecref.Field(i);
varCaption := MyFieldRef.Caption;
Message(Text000, i, varCaption);
end;
CustomerRecref.Close;
end;
