How to keep your variables in the design?

Silver John

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.

  • The basic issue with application attachments without password protection is that they rely on the good behavior of other Skill programmers. No password protection assumes that no other Skill programmer will muck with your attachment since they didn't create it.If you are  developing and using Skill programs within one company this may be a good assumption.

    For example, you can write some Skill code to replace the TIF Quickview attachment with some other data and see what happens when Allegro attempts to use this attachment. If Quickview application code password protected this attachment then it knows the data is valid since only it can modify the attachment.

    You must remember that attachments are a storage mechanism for user data. A Skill program is usually interacting with the user through some UI like a form to present this stored data. Storing the attachment password protected and encyrpting skill is code doesn't prevent this use model it just adds a level of security.
