BallardHill Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Is there example code for techniques to gather values from various components (.strContents, e.g.) and store them in a global variable between executions of a given .CTL?
AzeoTech Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Can you give me a better example of what you are trying to achieve as it relates to your application?
BallardHill Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 I needed to gather and persist to HDD all entries into several sets of configuration/calibration data EditBoxes on a setup page - not a data acquisition page (I am familiar with the reasons for using EditBoxes and such on modal dialogs instead of on running control and monitoring pages). I studied the documentation some more and opted to use Registry-stored values, since such data is only added infrequently in this system, and then only during manual operator intervention, so the slightly slower access times for Registry data is not an issue. Thanks for your support - IT ROCKS!
AzeoTech Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 If you have a bunch of configuration data, you might consider using an object to store all the data, then use the ToJson / FromJson along with the File. functions to log it all to a file. Its a little more involved (meaning a few more lines of script), but it is self-organizing, and doesn't have the limitations registry variables have. If, however, you only have, say, 3 or 4 values, then registry variables are easiest.
