EditModeStatus Property (TDBText)

Reference> TDBText Control> TDBText Control Properties> EditModeStatus Property (TDBText)

The EditModeStatus property returns whether the current edit mode is in the insert or the overwrite mode.

Syntax

control.EditModeStatus

Read-only at run time. Not available at design time.

Values

Description	Run Time
0 - Insert mode	dbiStatusInsert
1 - Overwrite mode	dbiStatusOverwrite

Remarks

In the TDBText control, the current edit mode will be applied to the drop-down edit window when dropping the window down. If you change the mode within the edit window, the new mode will be set back to the control upon closing the window. In this case the EditModeChange event will be fired and the EditModeStatus will be changed as soon as the focus returns to the control.
