Thanks Paul
I thought it was that but wasn't sure the best way to handle it. Will
use the onChange event and see how it goes. Thanks to all who replied
sooo quickly !

Heres a real simple one but its driving me mad....
I have a component with a TStrings published property as follows.
property SQLSearchString : TStrings read fSQLStrings write
SetSQLStrings;
However whenever I change the .Text property of the TStrings the
SetSQLStrings does not seem to fire. I'm no component guru, what am I
doing wrong ?
You're not really doing anything wrong, it's just that the SetSQLStrings
method is only going to be called when you actually assign a value to
the property. Changing the Text property of the Tstrings doesn't do
that, it's just modifying the object. If you use a TStringList, it has
OnChange and OnChanging events that you can set up to do what you want.
Make sure also that your SetSQLStrings uses .Assign and not := to change
the value of the fSQLStrings as well (I presume you are already doing
this).
Cheers,
Paul
