#include <settings.h>

Definition

Represent settings associate to the application.

Namespace: xtd::forms

Library: xtd.forms

Remarks: On Windows settings are stored in registry with "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\company_name\product_name" key or if no Company name "\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Product Name\Product Name" key.; On macos settings are stored in "~/Library/Preferences/product_name Preferences" file.; On linux settings are stored in "~/.product_name" file.

Examples: The following code example demonstrates the use of settings class.
#include <xtd/xtd>
#include "../properties/settings.h"
using namespace xtd::drawing;
using namespace xtd::forms;
int main() {
auto main_form = control::create<form>(settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().text());
main_form->start_position(form_start_position::manual);

auto back_color_picker = control::create<color_picker>(*main_form, "", {10, 10}, {75, 25});
back_color_picker->color_changed += [&] {
main_form->back_color(back_color_picker->color());
};

auto save_button = control::create<button>(*main_form, "&Save", {90, 10});
save_button->click += [&] {
settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().size(main_form->client_size());
settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().location(main_form->location());
settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().back_color(main_form->back_color());
settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().save();
};

auto reload_button = control::create<button>(*main_form, "&Reload", {170, 10});
reload_button->click += [&] {
settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().reload();
main_form->client_size(settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().size());
main_form->location(settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().location());
main_form->back_color(settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().back_color());
back_color_picker->color(settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().back_color());
};

auto reset_button = control::create<button>(*main_form, "R&eset", {250, 10});
reset_button->click += [&] {
settings_example::properties::settings::default_settings().reset();
reload_button->perform_click();
};

reload_button->perform_click();

application::run(*main_form);
