Persistant Theme

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We have added code to our project to use various themes based on the sample applications.  

When the application starts, we would like to be able to restore the theme last used by the user when the application was previously shut down.  

In order to save and restore the command bars (docking panes), we use the CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode class as such:

To Load: 

 CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px(TRUE, 0, _T("Settings"));   // To serialize to XML file
 if(px.LoadFromFile(m_strIniFileName))
 {
  CXTPPropExchangeSection pxNormalLayout(px.GetSection(_T("NormalLayout")));
  ExchangeLayout(&pxNormalLayout);
  m_pFullScreenLayout = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode, px.GetSection(_T("FullScreenLayout")));
  ASSERT(m_pFullScreenLayout);
 }

To Save:

 CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px(FALSE, 0, _T("Settings"));
 if (px.OnBeforeExchange()) 
 {
  CXTPPropExchangeSection pxNormalLayout(px.GetSection(_T("NormalLayout")));
  ExchangeLayout(&pxNormalLayout);
  px.PutSection(m_pFullScreenLayout);
  px.SaveToFile(m_strIniFileName);
 }
