Description

Call CreateField to create a field component based on the information in the Data Dictionary.

The Owner parameter specifies the component responsible for freeing the field.

The Dataset parameter specifies the dataset that includes the field component.

The FullName and Origin parameters specify the values of the field component's properties of the same names. Origin can be an empty string.

The FieldID and AttrID parameters specify the field in the field dictionary and an attribute set to use when creating the field. Both can be 0. If FieldID is specified and AttrID is not, the attribute set associated with FieldID is used.
