19 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 // wxIniConfig is a wxConfig implementation which uses MS Windows INI files to
21 // store the data. Because INI files don't really support arbitrary nesting of
22 // groups, we do the following:
23 // (1) in win.ini file we store all entries in the [vendor] section and
24 // the value group1/group2/key is mapped to the value group1_group2_key
25 // in this section, i.e. all path separators are replaced with underscore
26 // (2) in appname.ini file we map group1/group2/group3/key to the entry
27 // group2_group3_key in [group1]
29 // Of course, it might lead to indesirable results if '_' is also used in key
30 // names (i.e. group/key is the same as group_key) and also GetPath() result
31 // may be not what you would expect it to be.
33 // Another limitation: the keys and section names are never case-sensitive
34 // which might differ from wxFileConfig it it was compiled with
35 // wxCONFIG_CASE_SENSITIVE option.
36 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
38 // for this class, "local" file is the file appname.ini and the global file
39 // is the [vendor] subsection of win.ini (default for "vendor" is to be the
40 // same as appname). The file name (strAppName parameter) may, in fact,
41 // contain the full path to the file. If it doesn't, the file is searched for
42 // in the Windows directory.
