I want to build a recent files list into my program.
The hiearchy I currently have is "MenuStrip>File>Recent Files>File1".
I have a function which saves the files and opens them. It also stores the file name and file path in sperate variables:
CODE:
I would be able to change the text property of the File1 (File1ToolStripItem) to the SaveFileName easily, but how would I make it so that when you click the File1 (File1ToolStripItem) it opens the Savefile file?
I would also need the program to save this list so when I open the program again they are still there.
How do I save my programs settings in a document? Like total sessions used, Total accounts created. Also, How do I make a text file save and load every time the program is opened or closed? The saved accounts should be like this in the text file.
Account: Account name E-Mail: E-Mail used Password: Password used
Account name, Password, E-Mail will will all be in a textbox or combobox so if you can make it save from there. I have an total accounts created combobox. How would I make that load into a combobox and then when session is closed they all save. So loaded into a combobox then saved into a text file.

View 2 RepliesWhat is the correct way to handle saving user control settings on form close. I have a tabcontrol that a user can add tabpages during runtime. The user control has a few controls (listbox,combobox,textbox) How can I save the created tabpages and the data in each control in the usercontrol? Below is how I am calling my usercontrol
Code
Public Class TabPageEx
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TabPage

I seem to be a little lost as most documentation seems to suggest that I can not save usercontrol settings in the app.config. I have played around with the solution expl. settings tab without much success. But, then again I may be going about it all wrong. So, I am looking for a little direction on the best way to handle this on form close.

View 9 Repliesi've been busy with a program and it has worked out quite well. The only thing I still want is that it is possible to customize things and save that in a text file. Normally if i want an other background for one day, i need to change it in VB or make a checkbox to do that. if i then restart the program all the settings are lost and i have to set it again. so i was wondering if the program can make a text file and put codes like 1 for theme 1 and 2 for theme 2 etc. in it, then save it and load that file when it starts up again. and is this also possible for a login form? if yes, i can also add a "Create Account" button for my program instead of adding codes in VB.
View 6 RepliesWe have to learn VB.NET for the semester, my experience lies mainly with C# - not that this should make a difference to this particular problem.

Here is the code I am using to save a text file.

View 3 RepliesI need to have my application to prompt the user to see if he wants to save the settings or not before the application exits.I got this to work this way: I added an event handler to My.Application.Shutdown. This event handler does prompt the user and save the settings if the user answers "Yes".But in order to stop the application to save the settings anyway via its regular way, I have to set My.Application.SaveMySettingsOnExit to falseAs I said, it works, but it just look like a bad logic to set SaveMySettingsOnExit to false to have it to save the settings saved on exit with a prompt.
My question is: is there a way to get it work like this:
-SaveMySettingsOnExit =true -- PromptBeforeSave =True ( Save and Prompt)
-SaveMySettingsOnExit =true -- PromptBeforeSave =false ( Save and no Prompt)
