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 demonstrate 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();
