Saving field values

[Cybershmuck]

I have a set of field values from a GUI that i want to retain after I close the program.


When I open up the program again the text boxes should be populated with the values from the last session.

Is there a simple way of doing this?

Thanks in advance.

Save the values in the registry. On opening, if there are values in the registry, populate the dialog with those values.

Alternatively, save them in a local file. This will stop registry bloat.

Any examples you got to show me how to do that?

Thanks,

in a local file (say in same dir as executable) have a file which contains a list of the following values

textBox1
textBox2
textBox3
etc....

On launch open file, read values and initialise the boxes, you need to update the file on application close as well.

I'm not sure how to do it via the registry - bit would be interested to know how if you find out!
