I want to be able to save all customisation settings to files in "AppSettings".
 
I have found a couple of problems, and some places where stuff is saved only to registry: Shortcuts being one.
 
Can someone give me a definitive list of things I need to change/add to get this to work.
 
If you can base examples on the Whidbey sample then I can cross reference that code with mine.
 
I have got a dock layout saving to file:
 CXTPDockingPaneLayout layoutNormal( &m_paneManager );
 m_paneManager.GetLayout( &layoutNormal );
 layoutNormal.SaveToFile( GetAppDataLocation( _T("DockLayout.xml") ), _T("NormalLayout") );

But nothing else yet. Please can someone help, thanks.

Hi,
 
from toolbox sample:
 
CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px(FALSE, 0, _T("Settings"));

CXTPPropExchangeSection pxCommandBars(px.GetSection(_T("CommandBars")));
  GetCommandBars()->DoPropExchange(&pxCommandBars);
 
px.SaveToFile(m_strIniFileName);

I am still very confused, whats the difference between all these different ways of saving stuff.
 
Load/SaveCommandState
CXTPDockingPaneLayout::SaveToFile
CXTPPropExchangeSection pxCommandBars ... SaveToFile
 
And the last one (taken from toolbox example) gives me a crash in ~CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode
 
All I want to do is save all the docking bar layouts, keyboard and toolbar customisations to settings files and not in the registry.
 
Can you give me an explanation as to how I do this, thanks.

Aha, I found a perfect example in the Whidbey example. For anyone out there, search for "ExchangeLayout" in Mainfrm.cpp.
 
Thanks for your patience.
 
I think this is my example of where documentation is lacking, you have to really go through every sample and study them to find out all the things that the excellent Toolkit can do.
