Tom, thanks for the reply, here's what the code looks like:
---------------------
ListMakerPrefType prefs;
// Send a frmSave event to all the open forms.
FrmSaveAllForms();
// Close all the open forms.
FrmCloseAllForms();
// Write the preferences / saved-state information.
prefs.currentListDBID = CurrentListDBID;
prefs.dontWarnAboutDuplicates = DontWarnAboutDuplicates;
prefs.noteFont = NoteFont;
prefs.typeToScroll = TypeToScroll;
prefs.turnDownWhenAdding = TurnDownWhenAdding;
prefs.defSortCheckedAtEnd = DefSortCheckedAtEnd;
prefs.defAlwaysSort = DefAlwaysSort;
prefs.defSortAlpha = DefSortAlpha;
prefs.defShowDates = DefShowDates;
prefs.defShowPopups = DefShowPopups;
PrefSetAppPreferences(LMDBCreator, LMPrefID, LMVersionNum, &prefs,
sizeof(ListMakerPrefType), true);
---------------------
LMDBCreator, LMPrefID, and LMVersionNum are all #defines.
Any thoughts?
