Retrieves a list of names for all fields in a dataset.

Syntax:

procedure GetFieldNames(List: TStrings);

Description:

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:

MySQLTable1.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.
