Creates and initializes an instance of TTimeField.
constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;
virtual __fastcall TTimeField(TComponent * AOwner);
Most applications do not explicitly create instances of TTimeField. Instead, the field components are created automatically, as persistent field components defined in the Fields editor at design time or as dynamic field components created automatically by the dataset.
Create sets the DataType property to ftTime. The AOwner parameter specifies the component, typically a dataset, that becomes the new field's Owner. The Owner is responsible for freeing the component.
In the rare cases when you must create a persistent field component at runtime, call Create to create and initialize an instance of TTimeField. After instantiating a TTimeField, associate it with a specific field by setting its FieldName property to the name of the field. Give the TTimeField a unique identifier in the Name property. Establish where the field appears in the collection of fields by providing an ordinal number in the Index property. Associate the TTimeField with a dataset component by setting its DataSet property.
The example below creates a TTimeField object for a field named CheckOutTime accessed through a TQuery named Query1.
var T: TimeField; begin Query1.Close; T := TTimeField.Create(Query1); T.FieldName := 'CheckOutTime'; T.Name := Query1.Name + T.FieldName; T.Index := Query1.FieldCount; T.DataSet := Query1; Query1.FieldDefs.UpDate; Query1.Open; end;
