I have two stacks: a splash and an app stack (S504). I have a stack "prefs" which is part of the app stack. The Prefs stack is not moved out as a separate stack when the standalone is made. I used an installer to install my program in the AllUsersAppData directory for windows Xp.
When I run the installed Window app, I open the Prefs stack and entered information into six fields: myCounty, school system, site, agent, contact and email. I closed the Prefs stack and then quit my app. When I relaunched my app, the fields cited above are not filled in my app. But I open the Prefs stack, the fields are filled in. When I closed the Prefs stack, then the fields in my app are filled. I would appreciate suggestions on how I can get my preferences into my app! I have the following script in my Prefs stack: on preOpenStack set the loc of me to the loc of stack "S504" loadPrefs end preOpenStack on closeStack saveprefs end closeStack on loadPrefs pFilename local tPrefs -- put url ("binfile:" & pFilename) into tPrefs IF the platform is "MacOS" then put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath("preferences") & "/" & "S504_prefs") into tPrefs end if IF the platform is "win32" then put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "S504_prefs") into tPrefs end if put arrayDecode(tPrefs) into tPrefs -- now fill in all my data... put tPrefs["county"] into field "myCounty" of card id 1002 of stack "prefs" put tPrefs["county"] into field "school system" of card "referral" of stack "S504" -- put tPrefs["county"] into field "site" of card "adult" of stack "S504" put tPrefs["school"] into field "mySchool" of card id 1002 of stack "prefs" put tPrefs["school"] into field "school" of card "referral" of stack "S504" put tPrefs["school"] into field "site" of card "adult" of stack "S504" put tPrefs["agent"] into field "agent" of card id 1002 of stack "prefs" put tPrefs["agent"] into field "agent" of card "letter" of stack "S504" put tPrefs["agent"] into field "agent" of card "adult letter" of stack "S504" put tPrefs["contact"] into field "contact" of card id 1002 of stack "prefs" put tPrefs["contact"] into field "contact" of card "letter" of stack "S504" put tPrefs["contact"] into field "contact" of card "adult letter" of stack "S504" put tPrefs["email"] into field "email" of card id 1002 of stack "prefs" put tPrefs["email"] into field "email" of card "letter" of stack "S504" put tPrefs["email"] into field "email" of card "adult letter" of stack "S504" end loadPrefs on savePrefs pFilename local tPrefs --Fill in all of my data put field "myCounty" into tPrefs["county"] put field "mySchool" into tPrefs["school"] put field "agent" into tPrefs["agent"] put field "contact" into tPrefs["contact"] put field "email" into tPrefs["email"] IF the platform is "MacOS" then put arrayEncode(tPrefs) into url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath("preferences") & "/" & "S504_prefs") end if IF the platform is "win32" then put arrayEncode(tPrefs) into url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "S504_prefs") end if end savePrefs -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Unable-to-get-saved-preferences-file-into-a-standalone-at-launched-tp2301100p2301100.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
