Resets the current position of the stream.

Pascal
function Seek(Offset: Longint; Origin: Word): Longint; override;
C++
virtual __fastcall Longint Seek(Longint Offset, Word Origin);
Description

Use Seek to move the current position by the indicated offset. Seek uses the stream interface to change the current position to the value indicated by the Offset and Origin parameters. 

The Origin parameter indicates how to interpret the Offset parameter. Origin should be one of the following values:

Value 
Meaning 
soFromBeginning  
Offset is from the beginning of the Ole stream. Seek moves to the position Offset. Offset must be >= 0.  
soFromCurrent  
Offset is from the current position in the Ole stream. Seek moves to Position + Offset.  
soFromEnd  
Offset is from the end of the Ole stream. Offset must be <= 0 to indicate a number of bytes before the end of the stream.  

Seek returns the new value of the Position property.
