Resets the current position of the handle stream.

Pascal
function Seek(const Offset: Int64; Origin: TSeekOrigin): Int64; override;
C++
virtual __fastcall Int64 Seek(const Int64 Offset, TSeekOrigin Origin);
Description

Use Seek to move the current position within the resource associated with the handle stream by the indicated offset. Seek allows an application to read from or write to a particular location within the resource. 

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 resource. Seek moves to the position Offset. Offset must be >= 0.  
soFromCurrent  
Offset is from the current position in the resource. Seek moves to Position + Offset.  
soFromEnd  
Offset is from the end of the resource. Offset must be <= 0 to indicate a number of bytes before the end of the file.  

Seek returns the new value of the Position property, the new current position in the resource.
