You should include in ToolkitPro a feature to save all the settings in an XML file instead of Registry and the XML file should be in the app folder. Saving large amounts of data in Registry by many applications slows down the system performance.

app settings or even in the main application folder, anything is better than storing large amounts of data in registry

Standard users don't have write access to the programs folder.

Also the app folder is not part of roaming user profiles.

you're right, I forgot, because all our apps require admin rights :)

thanks !

but I don't see where it saves the XML file? and you should also add WriteProfileStringXML and GetProfileStringXML

See Samples\UserInterface\GUI_VisualStudio\MainFrm.cpp file.

It's not good idea to have WriteProfileStringXML/GetProfileStringXML because in this case on each call you have load whole XML, parse it and save again. Better save and load all settings once.
