TStream.Position property

Member of TStreampublicIn unit Classes

The current position in the stream.

Declaration

pascal
property Position: Int64 read GetPosition write SetPosition;

Description

Position can be read to determine the current position in the stream. It can be written to set the (absolute) position in the stream. The position is zero-based, so to set the position at the beginning of the stream, the position must be set to zero.

Not all TStream descendants support setting the position in the stream, so this should be used with care.

Errors

Some descendants may raise an EStreamError exception if they do not support setting the stream position.
