Description
Returns the current entity being edited by the form designer.
Call GetRoot to obtain the object the form designer is working on. If this object is a descendant of TCustomForm, GetRoot returns the value of the Form property.
Use GetRoot rather than the Form property, to ensure that code works even when editing a data module, remote data module, active form, or other entity that is not a descendant of TCustomForm.
