[gdal-dev] Adding labels / specifying styles

I tried to use OGR but failed until now :-(. I can specify a style in my 
c++ code but it is ignored when opening the shapefiles with QGIS.

This post 
(http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/MapInfo-tab-files-td4378592.html) 
suggests that QGIS don't care about OGR styles. The post is 1 year old. 
The issue may have been treated since ?
