i was wondering how to save typed information in text fields to in ini file and load them back to proper space on load. i tried working with the save ini code snippet but couldn't figure it out.
Code: Select all
Procedure.s readINI(section.s,key.s,empty.s,inifile.s)
result.s=Space(255)
GetPrivateProfileString_(section,key,empty,@result,255,inifile)
ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure
Procedure.l writeINI(section.s,key.s,value.s,inifile.s)
result=WritePrivateProfileString_(section,key,value,inifile)
ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure
If writeINI("data","again","test","C:\temp\testini.ini")
MessageRequester("Done","Value was written to INI file",0)
Else
MessageRequester("Error","Could not write to INI file",#MB_ICONERROR)
EndIf
ini$=readINI("data","again","xxx","C:\temp\testini.ini")
MessageRequester("","Value returned was: "+ini$,0)

Take a look at the preference lib in PureBasic....its easy to use.
Code: Select all
;
; ------------------------------------------------------------

; PureBasic - Preference example file
;
; (c) 2002 - Fantaisie Software
;
; ------------------------------------------------------------
;
If CreatePreferences("Preferences.prefs")
PreferenceGroup("Global")
WritePreferenceString("ApplicationName", "MP3 Player")
WritePreferenceString("Version", "1.1b")
PreferenceComment(" This is the Window dimension")
PreferenceComment("")
PreferenceGroup("Window")
WritePreferenceLong ("WindowX", 123)
WritePreferenceLong ("WindowY", 124)
WritePreferenceFloat("WindowZ", -125.5)
ClosePreferences()
EndIf
OpenPreferences("Preferences.prefs")
PreferenceGroup("Window")
Debug ReadPreferenceLong ("WindowX", 0)
Debug ReadPreferenceLong ("WindowY", 0)
Debug ReadPreferenceFloat("WindowZ", 0)
PreferenceGroup("Global")
Debug ReadPreferenceString("ApplicationName", "")
Debug ReadPreferenceString("Version", "")
ClosePreferences()
