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.

  • Hi

    Taking this discussion one level further.

    I have an attachement with several settings in a board and retrieve it.

    How can I easily change just one attachment setting using axlSetAttachment without having to traverse all settings.

    e.g.,

    a_id = axlGetAttachment("ns_prog_settings" 'string)

    mylist = car(errsetstring(a_id->data))

    mylist has several settings like

    mylist->width

    mylist->spacing

    my_list->startx

    my_list->starty

    but I would just like to change mylist->width and save that back to the attachment.

    axlSetAttachment takes an open attachment as the argument, so that is a_id in this case, but I cannot find an easy way to manipulate a_id without having to traverse all settings and a_id->width does not seem to bring me anything usefull except all the values.

    axlSetAttachment(a_id) does give a new attachment but no changes.

    How can this be accomplished?

    Best regards
