Description
Retrieves a list of names for all fields in a dataset.
Call GetFieldNames to get a list of names for all fields in a dataset. List is a TStrings object created and maintained by the application. For example, to load a list box with the field names of a table,
SQLDataSet1.GetFieldNames(ListBox1.Items);
SQLDataSet1->GetFieldNames(ListBox1->Items);
Retrieving a list of field names is especially useful for applications that work with datasets whose field objects are created dynamically at runtime. By retrieving a list of field names, the application can be restricted to working only with fields that exist at runtime.
Note: GetFieldNames does not add the names of any aggregated fields to the list.
