loop. The loop would be predicated on the Eof property of the dataset
component (TTable, TQuery, etc.). To ensure that the record pointer starts
in the right place, call the First method prior to the loop. The Next
method moves the record pointer to the next record. Call Next once per
iteration of the loop.
At each record in the table, use a TField reference to access the field.
Get this reference using either the Fields property or the FieldByName
method. Use the TField.AsString property to copy the data out of the field
as a String.
For each field value copied, call the TListBox.Items.Add method to add that
value to the TListBox component's list. If desired, before starting the
copy you can clear the TListBox of all current contents using the
TListBox.Items.Clear method.
begin
ListBox1.Items.Clear;
Table1.First;
while not Table1.Eof do begin
ListBox1.Items.Add(Table1.FieldByName('SomeField').AsString;
Table1.Next;
end;
end;
