Most applications do not explicitly create instances of TAutoIncField. Instead, the field components are created automatically, as persistent field components defined in the Fields editor at design time or as dynamic field components created automatically by the dataset. 

After calling the inherited constructor, Create sets the DataType property to ftAutoInc. The AOwner parameter specifies the component, typically a dataset, that becomes the new field's Owner. The Owner is responsible for freeing the component. 

In the rare cases when you must create a persistent field component at runtime, call Create to create and initialize an instance of TAutoIncField. After instantiating a TAutoIncField, associate it with a specific field by setting its FieldName property to the name of the field. Give the TAutoIncField a unique identifier in the Name property. Establish where the field appears in the collection of fields by providing an ordinal number in the Index property. Associate the TAutoIncField with a dataset component by setting its DataSet property to the name of the dataset component. 

The example below creates a TAutoIncField object for a field named ID accessed through a TSQLQuery named SQLQuery1.

var
  T: TAutoIncField;
begin
  SQLQuery1.Close;
  T := TAutoIncField.Create(SQLQuery1);
  T.FieldName := 'ID';
  T.Name := SQLQuery1.Name + T.FieldName;
  T.Index := SQLQuery1.FieldCount;
  T.DataSet := SQLQuery1;
  SQLQuery1.FieldDefs.UpDate;
  SQLQuery1.Open;
end;

TAutoIncField *T;
SQLQuery1->Close();
T = new TAutoIncField(SQLQuery1);
T->FieldName = "ID";
T->Name = SQLQuery1->Name + T->FieldName;
T->Index = SQLQuery1->FieldCount;
T->DataSet = SQLQuery1;
SQLQuery1->FieldDefs->UpDate();
SQLQuery1->Open();
