Overview of this book

Delphi is a strongly typed, event-driven programming language with a rich ecosystem of frameworks and support tools. It comes with an extensive set of web and database libraries for rapid application development on desktop, mobile, and internet-enabled devices. This book will help you keep up with the latest IDE features and provide a sound foundation of project management and recent language enhancements to take your productivity to the next level. You’ll discover how simple it is to support popular mobile device features such as sensors, cameras, and GPS. The book will help you feel comfortable working with FireMonkey and styles and incorporating 3D user interfaces in new ways. As you advance, you’ll be able to build cross-platform solutions that not only look native but also take advantage of a wide array of device capabilities. You’ll also learn how to use embedded databases, such as SQLite and InterBase ToGo, synchronizing them with your own custom backend servers or modules using the powerful RAD Server engine. The book concludes by sharing tips for testing and deploying your end-to-end application suite for a smooth user experience. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to deliver modern enterprise applications using Delphi confidently.

Before we start manipulating the properties of the bindings, we need to know how to get to them.

Getting to the BindingsList

You may have noticed that several fields have been added to your form's class with types such as TLinkPropertyToField, TLinkControlToField, and TLinkGridToDataSource. These have been added as you've added LiveBindings links and they're components with properties and events, just like other non-visual components you can place on a form or data module. However, you can't find them in the Tool Palette menu as they are managed from the BindingsList component that appeared on the form when you first started creating LiveBindings...
