Description
TFieldList lists the fields of a dataset, flattening out the structure of any object fields.
TFieldList is used by a dataset to implement its FieldList property. It lists the fields of the dataset in a flattened format.
With object field types, such as TADTField and TArrayField, there are two ways to represent the field components: hierarchically or flattened. When represented hierarchically, object fields contain a set of child field components for the constituent subfields. When represented as a flattened set, child fields appear as siblings sequentially after the parent field.
TFieldList is a descendant of TStringList. The strings in this string list are the names of fields. The objects that correspond to those strings are the TField objects.
