Livebinding a DataSet field to a Form Caption

I would have thought this obvious, but I don't see a way of doing it, is there a way of binding a dataset field to the caption of a form. I'm using Delphi XE5.

Solution

  • You cannot use the LiveBindings Designer or the Wizard because the form itself is not listed there.

    A possible workaround is to place a TLabel and bind to its Caption. Then go to the TLinkPropertyToField binding that was created and change the Component property to your form - it will show an Error but you can ignore that and it will work. After that you can remove the label again.
