[Gambas-user] how to start a file?

[Dimitris Anogiatis]

Hey Robi,

one of the options is to use the gb.settings library.

while you're on the IDE press CTRL and P then click on the Componets tab,
find gb.settings and click on the box on the left side of the selection then
press Ok

now in your code you need to use this on top of your code (ie put this on
the first line of your form or module)

Public pathSettings AS NEW Settings(User.Home &/ Application.Name &/
Application.Name & ".conf")

this means that if your user account name is robi and your application's
name is myApp then the settings
file will be created in this path

/home/robi/myApp/myapp.conf

now to save settings you use pathSettings like this

pathSettings["Files/LoadFrom"]="your path"

this will create a category Files in your settings file and under that it
will create a LoadFrom item
where you can store your path's value

to read that value all you have to do is

myPath = pathSettings["Files/LoadFrom"]

I hope it helps

Regards
Dimitris
