Hello,

The documentation describes a function called SaveSettings which saves the control's settings to a data file. Is there a more detailed description as to what specific settings get saved?

Do these settings include all properties that we set programatically via the SetProperty function?

Thanks.

Hello Ap_mi,

As per the help page:
"https://help.pdf-xchange.com/DEV/de ... vesettings"
"Save all control settings to an external storage method of your choosing."

This is pretty much equivalent to "Edit -> Export all settings to data file" from inside the UI of the Viewer itself.
There are no options to e.g. export only part of the settings unlike in the Editor, where you can export only some parts.

This settings file will include toolbar layouts, custom shortcuts and any other customisations you might do to the UI, so if you export the settings, and then import them every time you load the control - that's a quick way to apply multiple UI customizations.

Regards,
Stefan
