33 wxFileConfig derives from base Config and implements file based config class,
34 i.e. it uses ASCII disk files to store the information. These files are
35 alternatively called INI, .conf or .rc in the documentation. They are
36 organized in groups or sections, which can nest (i.e. a group contains
37 subgroups, which contain their own subgroups &c). Each group has some
38 number of entries, which are "key = value" pairs. More precisely, the format
41 # comments are allowed after either ';' or '#' (Win/UNIX standard)
43 # blank lines (as above) are ignored
45 # global entries are members of special (no name) top group
49 # the start of the group 'Foo'
50 [Foo] # may put comments like this also
51 # following 3 lines are entries
53 another_key = " strings with spaces in the beginning should be quoted, \
54 otherwise the spaces are lost"
55 last_key = but you don't have to put " normally (nor quote them, like here)
57 # subgroup of the group 'Foo'
58 # (order is not important, only the name is: separator is '/', as in paths)
60 # entries prefixed with "!" are immutable, i.e. can't be changed if they are
61 # set in the system-wide config file
65 [Foo/Bar/Fubar] # depth is (theoretically :-) unlimited
66 # may have the same name as key in another section
67 bar_entry = whatever not
69 You have {read/write/delete}Entry functions (guess what they do) and also
70 setCurrentPath to select current group. enum{Subgroups/Entries} allow you
71 to get all entries in the config file (in the current group). Finally,
72 flush() writes immediately all changed entries to disk (otherwise it would
73 be done automatically in dtor)
75 wxFileConfig manages not less than 2 config files for each program: global
76 and local (or system and user if you prefer). Entries are read from both of
77 them and the local entries override the global ones unless the latter is
78 immutable (prefixed with '!') in which case a warning message is generated
79 and local value is ignored. Of course, the changes are always written to local
82 The names of these files can be specified in a number of ways. First of all,
83 you can use the standard convention: using the ctor which takes 'strAppName'
84 parameter will probably be sufficient for 90% of cases. If, for whatever
85 reason you wish to use the files with some other names, you can always use the
88 wxFileConfig also may automatically expand the values of environment variables
89 in the entries it reads: for example, if you have an entry
90 score_file = $HOME/.score
91 a call to Read(&str, "score_file") will return a complete path to .score file
92 unless the expansion was previousle disabled with SetExpandEnvVars(FALSE) call
93 (it's on by default, the current status can be retrieved with
94 IsExpandingEnvVars function).
