TStringHashList.CaseSensitive

Indicates if case sensitivity is used for hash item keys.

Declaration

Source position: stringhashlist.pas line 67

Description

CaseSensitive is a Boolean property which indicates the case for the key values in hash items. The default value for the property is set to the argument passed to the Create constructor.

When set to False, key values are converted to their uppercase equivalent when hash values are calculate in the HashOf method. When set to True, the existing case for the key value is used.

The value in CaseSensitive must be set before hash items are added to the List. Setting a new value for the property when Count has a non-zero value causes an EListError Exception to be raised.

CaseSensitive is used in the Find method to ensure that the search uses the same logic employed when the hash item was created.
