Member Property (Delphi and Corel Paradox Cross Reference Guide)

Delphi uses a special property keyword to both get and set the values of properties. The read and write keywords are used to get and set the value of the property directly or through an accessor method. For a read-only property, leave out the write portion of the declaration.

You can give properties any visibility you wish (private, protected, etc). It is common in Delphi to start member fields with "F" ("FName" in our example) and drop the "F" with properties that manage member fields ("Name" in our example).

TCyborg = class(TObject)
private
  FCName: String;
public
  property CyborgName: String read FCName write FCName;
end;
