[Gambas-user] Concurrent gb.settings

[T Lee Davidson]

The slot is to group related key/value pairs together.

If you have:
Public Sub Form_Close()
  ' Save window settings when application closes
  Settings["Window/Top"] = Me.Top
  Settings["Window/Left"] = Me.Left
  Settings["Window/Height"] = Me.Height
  Settings["Window/Width"] = Me.Width
End

The saved settings file would look something like the following:
[Window]
Top = 13
Left = 18
Height = 154
Width = 235

To save a setting, the syntax is Settings["SLOT/KEY"] = VALUE

When retrieving a setting, you can set a default value in case the setting is not found in the file.
To retrieve a setting, the syntax is VALUE = Settings["SLOT/KEY", DEFAULT_VALUE]
