Settings import/export

[anovy]

Hi,

1)
How I can detect that the settings import failed and so settings were not imported? The Do() method of "op.settings.import" returns S_OK also if the source file does not exist or it is in invalid format.

2)
I noticed that IPXV_Control properties 'VisibleCmdPanes', 'LockedCmdPanes', 'LockedCmdBars' and 'VisibleScrollbars' are not saved/loaded via "op.settings.export/import". Is there some way how to save them via Editor SDK?

Hello anovy,

Can you please send us a small working project where we can debug this problem?

Cheers,

Hi,

Regarding 1) here is a sample source code in C++ (no error or pointer checking here for simplicity). The code is taken from your C# SDK example and rewritten to C++.

Code: Select all

BOOL LoadSettings(IPXV_Inst *pinst,LPCTSTR filepath)
{
IOperationPtr op=pinst->CreateOp(pinst->Str2ID("op.settings.import",VARIANT_FALSE));
ICabNodePtr root=op->Params->Root;
root->Item["Options.History"]->v=true;
root->Item["Input"]->Unknown=pinst->GetExtension("AFS")->DefaultFileSys->StringToName(_bstr_t(filepath),0,NULL);
return op->Do(0)==S_OK;
}

Then op->Do(0) returns S_OK also if the file (as given by filepath) does not exist or if the file is in invalid format.


Regarding 2) you can check this directly in your C# SDK example project. If you export/import settings on the Setting I/O panel, then you will see that the properties listed above are not saved/restored (these are first four properties on the View panel).

Hello anovy,

It appears that it's a bug in the operation - thanks for noticing. We will try to fix this asap.
As for the 2, these things should also be saved. The thing is that we do save the settings correctly - just tried importing these settings into the End-User Editor - everything worked smoothly. I will asked a developer who implemented this feature and will reply.

Cheers,
Alex
