Changing GIS attribute field names (C++ Builder)
Question
Bahodir asked on December 16, 2019, keyword: Developer Kernel
I can get field name by this method:
TGIS_Shape *shp;
TGIS_LayerVector *ll;
ll = ( TGIS_LayerVector *)( GIS->Items->Items[0] ); // getting first layer
Label1->Caption = ll->FieldInfo( 2 )->Name; // getting field name
shp = shp->MakeEditable() ;
shp = (TGIS_Shape *)( GIS->Locate( ptg, 5 / GIS->Zoom, TRUE ) ) ;
GIS_Attributes->ShowShape( shp );
This way I can see all field data on Attributes component.
How can I change field name on TGIS_ControlAttributes? (I need this to translate field names into my language)

TGIS_FieldRule *r ;
TGIS_FieldInfo *fld ;
TGIS_LayerVector *ll;
ll = ( TGIS_LayerVector *)( GIS->Items->Items[0] );
fld = ll->FieldInfo(1) ;
r = new TGIS_FieldRule ;
r->LongName="customfieldname";
fld->Rules=r;
////////////////
Getting error "LongName" is not accessible.
How can I use my custom field name for the existing ones?
Can you show some examples with LongName please?

Suppose that you o[en pour sample world.shp file. Create a file called world.shp.fldx
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<TatukGIS>
<Fields>
<Field>
<Name>POPYCOUN</Name>
<Caption>This is my caption</Caption>
</Field>
</Fields>
</TatukGIS>
This is the easiest way right now to provide custom captions. If you have further questions I suggest to contact support@ directly.
