Read/Write grid settings to/from ini file

[moongodess]

Hi!!

I have a grid in my project that must have some 'properties' saved and loaded..

I created a sample txt file with some things that I have to save about that grid.

I was wondering if it is possible to read the file doing something like this:

 

Dim c as column

for each c in columns

'Do something

next

 

Dim g as group

for each g in groups

'Do something

next

 

I have the mentalis class to read and write to some file, but with that it's not possible to have quotes and 'subquotes'.

 

Can someone help, please?

The best thing to do in your case is use an XML file instead of a txt/ini file. When you load the XML you can then iterate the collection similiar to your current code.

And how can I do that?

I never worked with xml files :o

I searched a lot and I found a way to create a file like the attached.. (This one was made by me :rolleyes: )

Now I need to know how can I read from each section, in order to get a collection with columns information, another with groups information, etc.
