To fill a list with the first field of each record

What's this?
Char **strArray = NULL;
strArray = MemPtrNew(recordcount * sizeof(Char *));
for i=0; i<recordcount; i++
{
stringlength = ...
strArray[i] = MemPtrNew(stringlength);
StrCopy(strArray[i], ...
}
etc.
later on:
for i=0; i<recordcount; i++
MemPtrFree(strArray[i]);
MemPtrFree(strArray);
I haven't put any checks in this example. You should do it for each and
every MemPtrNew().

nRecordIndex = DmNumRecords(dbPtr); // number of records
for(index =0; index < nRecordIndex; index++) // lets index through
database
{
h =DmQueryRecord(dbPtr, index); // lets query each record
RecordPtr = MemHandleLock(h); // lets lock each record
//need to extract first field of each record here and insert it into
//a form list named frmList1
// I think I need to fill an array then asign the array to the list
//using LstSetListChoices
MemHandleUnlock(h); // unlock each record
}
pForm = FrmGetActiveForm(); // get active form
lsp1 = FrmGetObjectPtr(pForm, FrmGetObjectIndex(pForm, frmList1)); //
get id of list control
LstSetListChoices(lsp1,strArray,0); // clear list
// fill list with array
//Err err = CloseDB();
return true;
