Multiplying Edit1.text and displaying in Edit2.text

I want to multiply the text of one Edit Box by 1.5 and then display it into a second Edit box? It seems easy, but this is day 1 of using Delphi :-)

I take it that it's not gonna be as easy as ...

Code:

Edit2.text := Edit1.text * 1.5;

I'm too used to programming in Lingo I think :-)
Thanks for your help!

I sorted it out myself, using a link below. Thanks :-)

Edit2.text := FloatToStr(StrToFloat(Edit1.text) * 1.5);
