- JR>I am wondering if it is possible to store a result of a check box without
- JR>saving it to afile?
-
- JR>In other words if I am in the program and "Set" a checkbox; How do I keep
- JR>that checkbox set if I exit the program and restart it?
-
- If it's just for a short time (while in the same session) then you could try
- setting environment variables.
-
- It's really not that hard to save a file (if that's what you're worried about).
- A simple .CFG file could easily be created then read in when you start the
- program. You can save the CFG file every time the checkbox is CHANGEd and also
- when the program is terminated (if there are other things that you want to
- generally save).
-
- You could also try mucking around with the extended attributes of the program
- and the read them back in when you start up the program the next time.
-
- Good Luck,
