In this case the answer is 1.
It does depend on how the property is implemented. A lot of them use window
messages, so are slower than a straight value/field read - even the reads
will send a window message (or ) - eg Text/Caption property does this have a
look at TControl.GetText and TControl.SetText
Best to look at the source if you don't know.

Subject: [DUG]: Speed question
Which of the following statements execuates faster if the button is
already enabled?
1. OKButton.Enabled := True;
2. if OKButton.Enabled = False then OKButton.Enabled := True;
If the answer is 2, does anyone bother doing it that way?
Also, if I'm enabling the button in numerous procedures, is it
better/faster to execute a procedure with just the one line in it?
Cheers,
Ross.
