Hey Robi, one of the options is to use the gb.settings library.
while you're on the IDE press CTRL and P then click on the Componets tab, find gb.settings and click on the box on the left side of the selection then press Ok now in your code you need to use this on top of your code (ie put this on the first line of your form or module) Public pathSettings AS NEW Settings(User.Home &/ Application.Name &/ Application.Name & ".conf") this means that if your user account name is robi and your application's name is myApp then the settings file will be created in this path /home/robi/myApp/myapp.conf now to save settings you use pathSettings like this pathSettings["Files/LoadFrom"]="your path" this will create a category Files in your settings file and under that it will create a LoadFrom item where you can store your path's value to read that value all you have to do is myPath = pathSettings["Files/LoadFrom"] I hope it helps Regards Dimitris On Sun, Sep 13, 2009 at 4:39 PM, yuhej <robert1juh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I just start with Gambas (used VB before) and hopefully I found a place > where I can get some answers. > At this moment I wish to add an option of attaching files in my application > (by saving the path) and to open them later. > Can someone tell me how can I start a file from Gambas?
