Simple way of manipulating your own .ini file

[kindred]

Is there a simple way to access/modify your own .ini file for your program?


Thanks,

I have resorted:
1. When designing the application I created a system table to hold the INI info
2. When I need to change the info, I alter the info in the table.
3. Create a totaly new INI file from the table.

If you need the "old style" INI file setting, see the on-line help (F1 in VFP):
Contents
Visual FoxPro documentation
Samples
Visual FoxPro foundation classes
"INI access"

I use my own base-class for it, if you need a code-example, I'll post it.

Another solution is storing them settings in a settings-table.

Both solutions require some coding, and both work perfectly well.

IF you download the latest version of the free CodeBook framework there is a classlibrary called:

cUtils.VCX

This classlibrary contains base classes to manipulate INI file settings as well as registry settings.
- cIniFile
- cRegistry

The use of these classes is quite straightforward.

Downloadable from:

They cling emotionally to code and fix development rather than choosing practices based on analytical assesments of what works best.
