How to keep your variables in the design?

Silver John
Silver John over 14 years ago

Hi, All.

I have a script that creates a form with several fields. I want to save the contents of these fields in design, and the next time when I open the design and launches the script I have already configured the form.

There are functions for including the file or string to .brd-file, there are functions for working with the properties of the design...

What is the best way to save my settings?

Maybe someone has an example code?

Thank you.

    Since these attachments are viewed as data blobs by the Allegro database; I do not see why Cadence would delete them in future releases.

    Since the attachments are visible to any Skill program, if you do not want your users to access the raw attachment, you can add a password when creating the attachment. Then accessing or deleting the attachment would require a password which only your application code would know. For real paranoids, you could then encyprt your skill file so nobody could reverse engineer the password.
