Returns the address of a published object field.

Pascal
function FieldAddress(const Name: ShortString): Pointer;
C++
Pointer FieldAddress(const ShortString Name);
Description

System::TObject::FieldAddress is used internally by the component streaming system to access a specified published field of an object. System::TObject::FieldAddress returns a pointer to the field if it exists. If the object has no published field by that name, System::TObject::FieldAddress returns nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++). 

Programs should access and manipulate fields by using properties instead of System::TObject::FieldAddress.
