[Gambas-user] Settings with VSplit control

[richard terry]

Simple sample code:

Public sub Save_Settings()
      Settings["Your_Section_Name/HSplit_Main.Layout"] = HSplit_Main.Layout
end

to restore this:

Public Sub Settings_Load()
HSplit_Main.Layout = 
Settings["Your_Section_Name/HSplit_Main.Layout"] = HSplit_Main.Layout

End

BTW settings is located usually in:

/home/user/.config/gambas3/your_app_name.conf

eg /home/richard/ etc 

Regards

Richard
