TParam.AsFloat Property

Specifies the value of the parameter when it represents a float field.

Pascal

property AsFloat: Double;

C++

__property Double AsFloat;

Description

Set AsFloat to assign the value for a float field to the parameter. Setting AsFloat sets the DataType property to ftFloat.

Read the AsFloat property to determine the value that was assigned to an output parameter, represented as a double. The value of the parameter is converted to a double value if possible.
