using wxConfigFile

Qasim · Post by **Qasim** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 4:47 pm

Hi. Iam using wxConfigFile to save application settings. But every time the "MyApp.ini" file is created in C:\Documents and Settings\CURRENT_USER directory.
Is there any way to change its location, something like in "C:\Settings" etc.

I am doing some thing like this (please ignore syntax Errors, if any)

Code: Select all

wxConfigFile* writer= new wxConfigFile("MyApp, Vendor");
writer->SetPath("Mainframe/size")
writer->Write("width",800);
writer->Write("Height",600);
writer->Flush();
delete writer;

Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers

wxFileConfig varFile (wxEmptyString, wxEmptyString, wxEmptyString, "c:\absolutepath\filename", wxCONFIG_USE_GLOBAL_FILE);

Code: Select all

  // ctor & dtor
    // New constructor: one size fits all. Specify wxCONFIG_USE_LOCAL_FILE or
    // wxCONFIG_USE_GLOBAL_FILE to say which files should be used.
  wxFileConfig(const wxString& appName = wxEmptyString,
               const wxString& vendorName = wxEmptyString,
               const wxString& localFilename = wxEmptyString,
               const wxString& globalFilename = wxEmptyString,
               long style = wxCONFIG_USE_LOCAL_FILE | wxCONFIG_USE_GLOBAL_FILE,
               const wxMBConv& conv = wxConvAuto());

Code: Select all

  wxFileConfig(wxInputStream &inStream, const wxMBConv& conv = wxConvAuto());

Hmmm, I bet all of those could be found in the docs?

Of course

I was bored waiting for a compile to finish - bored enough to cut and paste a line from my source code but not bored enough to look up the ctor in the documents

Judy, I think I wasn't clear enough on where the derision was aimed. It was aimed at the OP to be clear

Of course if the OP had bothered to look at the docs for the class being questioned then none of us would have had an outlet for our boredom.

Actually the form of ctor in question is not mentioned in the documentation for wxConfigFile but in the base class wxConfigBase. The documentation for wxConfigFile only shows one form of constructor, so at first glance it is missable, I know I made the same mistake once.

Rest easy, I knew what you meant. I was still bored (it's a 30 minute compile!

) so I responded.
