Can a ListBox.Items be replaced by a StringList when calling ADOConnection.GetFieldNames method?

Question

4.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

Delphi

ADOConnection1.GetFieldNames('Employee', ListBox1.Items);

Above is the code that is shown that should be used when calling this method. If I try the code below, an error message comes up in the very next line of code, always.

Is there any way to replace the ListBox.Items with a StringList (which can be changed etc before placing this StringList into the ListBox)?

Delphi

var
TablesList : TStringList;
//...
ADOConnection1.GetFieldNames('Employee', TablesList);
//code to modify the TablesList as I want to... then display the list in the listbox
ListBox1.Items := TablesList;

I need to modify the list returned from the GetFieldNames method before it may be displayed to the user... How else can this be done?

Delphi

// fields before you call
procedure TForm1.buttonGetFieldsClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  memoTableFields.Clear;
  ADOConnection1.GetFieldNames(editTable.Text, memoTableFields.Lines);
end;

// after editing you can set memo list
procedure TForm1.buttonSetFieldsClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  listboxFields.Clear;
  listboxFields.Items := memoTableFields.Lines;
end;
