TVirtualAutoIncField.AutoGenerateValue Property

Indicates whether the field values can be automatically generated.

Class

TVirtualAutoIncField

Syntax

property AutoGenerateValue default arAutoInc;

Remarks

Use the AutoGenerateValue property to indicate whether the field values can be automatically generated.

When the property value is arAutoInc, a new incrementing value for the field will be generated automatically when inserting a new record. Otherwise (arNone and arDefault values), the field will be empty. The default value is arAutoInc.

Note: An attempt to change the AutoGenerateValue property when the field dataset is open generates an exception. Thus, AutoGenerateValue only works with persistent field components, which remain when the dataset is closed.
