[Shapelib] Styles ?

[sagent100]

Todd
Thank you for your help !
As you told me, the .shp file have only geometries, not styles.
So the question is, using shapelib, how the .lyr is created ?, or how can I
tell which style have each object?

Which is the default style shapelib use for each kind of object when I
create a new one using the library?

As I understand you say I have to open the table with ArcView f.e and change
the styles there. Is it true?

Thank you !!!
