16.6 Application Preferences Functions
16.6.1 Application Preference Data
Obviously, an area of concern is accessing the actual application preferences (in other words, those settings that adjust the performance of the actual host application).
Application preferences (“Preferences”) are stored in INI format and, as in many applications, they can be adjusted from a ribbon menu function (FILE_SETTINGS_QUERY). The tabs presented are structured by each module within the application. Not all applications contain all modules and therefore do not contain all tabs.
If the settings within the INI file are manually edited and reapplied, they will be applied to the specific sections of the program. Depending on the context, some settings may not immediately take effect. For example, in the above image, the file share mode would not apply to files currently open within the application.
General settings, such as desktop position, are located in the application’s INI file. The GetApplicationSettingsName function can be used to get the name of the file to access the data directly.
16.6.3 Application Preferences Functions
