==Description==
<section begin=short />Retrieves a component's property type.<section end=short />

[[System.TypInfo.PropType|PropType]] utilises Delphi's RTTI (Run Time Type Information) to return the type of a component property in a [[System.TypInfo.TTypeKind|TTypeKind]] value. 

In the first form of this function, '''AClass''' specifies the component class whose property you want to retrieve. '''PropName''' specifies the property name as a string.

The second form of the function is similar to the first, with '''Instance''' replacing '''AClass''' as the means of specifying the component.

In both forms of the function, the returned value is a [[System.TypInfo.TTypeKind|TTypeKind]] value. 

<blockquote>'''Note:'''  If the specified property does not exist, or is not a published property, an EPropertyError exception is thrown.</blockquote>
