 Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2009 5:45 pm Post subject: Combo box + save style |
 |
|
How do I use the combo box save style? I want to save to an INI file.
Do I have to use this inconjuction with Click style?
SAVE <name> [VDS6] The element will automatically save and restore the last value it contains in the default registry location, or in an INI file if one is being used. If <name> is not specified then the name of the dialog element will be used for the name of the registry or INI file value. |

I know the help file for VDS does not tell you however this is how you do this.
| Code: |
Title Combo_savestyle
# you can open any INI file but make sure you specify the path to the file
# Also note it must come before the dialog.
INIFILE OPEN,@PATH(%0)Combo_savestyle.ini
# build your dialog with the controls that can save their states.
DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,350,166
REM *** Modified by Dialog Designer on 8/25/2009 - 14:33 ***
DIALOG ADD,COMBO,COMBO1,31,49,,,item1,,SAVE comboitem
DIALOG SHOW
List add,combo1,item1
list add,combo1,item2
list add,combo1,item3
list add,combo1,item4
:Evloop
wait event
goto @event()
:Close
info Replace this line with code to be executed before the dialog closes
# Make sure you close the INI file when your program closes
INIFILE CLOSE
exit

Also note that VDS can only have 1 INI file open at a time using the INIFILE/@INIFILE() commands/functions. One more thing.. They did not make it possible to save the state of the controls to an XML file  The VDS 6 INIFILE command has the ability to use XML files as if they are INI files but it does not work in this case

The only problem with specifying a ini file value's name when using the save style is that the next time you use the dialog designer it removes the save style! I prefer to just let VDS use the element's name in the ini file.
| Code: | DIALOG ADD,COMBO,COMBO1,31,49,,,item1,,SAVE
