In TControl the property Color is protected. 
TEdit publish it.  
What I'm saying is that you can use the property Color, if you tell Delphi the object 
is a TEdit.
You know the property exists, what you are doing is "publishing" it.
You could use any Class that publish the property.

Quoting Julian Cellini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

But the controls aren't all TEdits.

I'm not sure how relevant this is, but even though they are stored in the 
Controls array as TControl, they are still TDBEdit etc. This is because 
TControl refers to subclasses through inheritance as well as actual TControl 
objects. Whether the typecast would be valid I do not know, I suspect you would 
have to typecast to an object in the same hierarchy.
