Unable to read Text property in a TComboBox in Delphi

Hello, I am trying to read the property Text of a ComboBox in Delphi with TC7:



ShowMessage(Aliases.Main.fmain.combobox1.Text);


and I am getting this error message (pls see attached image):



"The property or method does nor exist or it is used incorrectly.

you are trying to read a write-only property or to write a read-only property"





Thanks,



Elia.

    Hi Elia,


    1. What is the name, vendor and version of your combo box control?

    2. Which version of Delphi did you use to compile your application?
