These files are alternatively called INI, .conf or .rc in the documentation. They are organized in groups or sections, which can nest (i.e. a group contains subgroups, which contain their own subgroups &c). Each group has some number of entries, which are "key = value" pairs. More precisely, the format is: # comments are allowed after either ';' or '#' (Win/UNIX standard) # blank lines (as above) are ignored # global entries are members of special (no name) top group written_for = Windows platform = Linux # the start of the group 'Foo' [Foo] # may put comments like this also # following 3 lines are entries key = value another_key = " strings with spaces in the beginning should be quoted, \ otherwise the spaces are lost" last_key = but you don't have to put " normally (nor quote them, like here) # subgroup of the group 'Foo' # (order is not important, only the name is: separator is '/', as in paths) [Foo/Bar] # entries prefixed with "!" are immutable, i.e. can't be changed if they are # set in the system-wide config file !special_key = value bar_entry = whatever [Foo/Bar/Fubar] # depth is (theoretically :-) unlimited # may have the same name as key in another section bar_entry = whatever not You have {read/write/delete}Entry functions (guess what they do) and also setCurrentPath to select current group. enum{Subgroups/Entries} allow you to get all entries in the config file (in the current group). Finally, flush() writes immediately all changed entries to disk (otherwise it would be done automatically in dtor) wxFileConfig manages not less than 2 config files for each program: global and local (or system and user if you prefer). Entries are read from both of them and the local entries override the global ones unless the latter is immutable (prefixed with '!') in which case a warning message is generated and local value is ignored. Of course, the changes are always written to local file only. The names of these files can be specified in a number of ways. First of all, you can use the standard convention: using the ctor which takes 'strAppName' parameter will probably be sufficient for 90% of cases. If, for whatever reason you wish to use the files with some other names, you can always use the second ctor. wxFileConfig also may automatically expand the values of environment variables in the entries it reads: for example, if you have an entry score_file = $HOME/.score a call to Read(&str, "score_file") will return a complete path to .score file unless the expansion was previousle disabled with SetExpandEnvVars(FALSE) call (it's on by default, the current status can be retrieved with IsExpandingEnvVars function). */ class WXDLLEXPORT wxFileConfigGroup; class WXDLLEXPORT wxFileConfigEntry; class WXDLLEXPORT wxFileConfigLineList; class WXDLLEXPORT wxFileConfig : public wxConfigBase { public: // construct the "standard" full name for global (system-wide) and // local (user-specific) config files from the base file name. // // the following are the filenames returned by this functions: // global local // Unix /etc/file.ext ~/.file // Win %windir%\file.ext %USERPROFILE%\file.ext // // where file is the basename of szFile, ext is it's extension // or .conf (Unix) or .ini (Win) if it has none static wxString GetGlobalFileName(const wxChar *szFile); static wxString GetLocalFileName(const wxChar *szFile); // ctor & dtor // New constructor: one size fits all.
