function GetMethodProp(

Instance: TObject;

PropInfo: PPropInfo

):TMethod; function GetMethodProp(

Instance: TObject;

const PropName: string

):TMethod;

Description

GetMethodProp returns the method the property described by PropInfo or with name Propname for object Instance. The return type TMethod is defined in the SysUtils unit as:

TMethod = packed record
  Code, Data: Pointer;
end;

Data points to the instance of the class with the method Code.

Errors

No checking is done whether Instance is non-nil, or whether PropInfo describes a valid method property of Instance. Specifying an invalid property name in PropName will result in an EPropertyError exception.
