Getting Field Description in a Query |
Thu, Oct 25 2007 1:50 PM | Permanent Link |
Gordon Turner | I've been trying to figure this out for a while, and I'm sure I'm
missing something, but I don't know what. When I examine the FieldDefs of a TDBISAMTable, I can fetch the extended Description value from FieldDefs[index].Description. How can I get the values for the columns in a TDBISAMQuery? I see the extended descriptions used in the grid in the DBSys utility when I execute a query, so I'm guessing it can be done, but how? (I'd like to use the query component to help generate a list of data field descriptions for user selection in various functions.) -- Gordon Turner Mycroft Computing http://www.mycroftcomputing.com |
