Adding Numbers ..Newbie

[xxman]

Hi
I searched the web for an example of adding two decimal
numbers together. No Luck. Could someone provide an example
edit1 + edit2 = result edit3
Thank You

edit1 is not a decimal number, it's a string (actually it is edit1.caption)

so

Edit3.caption := IntToStr(StrToInt(Edit1.caption) + StrToInt(Edit2.Caption));

will do the job

Edit3.Text = FloatToStr(StrToFloat(edit1.text) + StrToFloat(edit2.text));

it's the .Text property

a TEdit doesn't have .Caption property
