How to get a property value using a string

[rcloutie]

Hi all,

Is there any way to get / set a property value using a string identifier?

Something like:

     oMyClass.Properties('CalcValueX') := x;
     x := oMyClass.Properties('CalcValueX');

instead of:

     oMyClass.CalcValueX := x;
     x := oMyClass.CalcValueX;

The point is that all properties are inserted into a TStringGrid which one column is dedicated to the property name. Using this column, I would like to set directly new values into my object (MyClass). Actually there's a bunch of [if else if] to check each property names but I don't like it.

Thanks a lot in advance,

RC
