Description
Moves to a specified position in the streamed resource.
Call Seek to move the current position of the stream in its particular storage medium (such as memory or a disk file).
The Origin parameter indicates how to interpret the Offset parameter. Origin should be one of the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
soBeginning |
Offset is from the beginning of the resource. Seek moves to the position Offset. Offset must be >= 0. |
|
soCurrent |
Offset is from the current position in the resource. Seek moves to Position + Offset. |
|
soEnd |
Offset is from the end of the resource. Offset must be <= 0 to indicate a number of bytes before the end of the file. |
Seek returns the new value of the Position property.
Seek is called by the Position and Size properties.
Note: As implemented in TStream, the two versions (the 32-bit or 64-bit syntax) call each other. Descendent stream classes must override at least one of these versions, and the override must not call the inherited default implementation.
