Topic: State Saving into wrong folder

The LoadCommandBars and SaveCommandBars functions appear to save into the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\APPNAME

This is not what I want and a bit different to every other application. It ought to save into a sub-folder (normally the company name). This is what its like in the Software section of registry as its what you use "SetRegistryKey" for.

So we could (and should) use this value in the command bar load/save thus:

Change "CXTPCommandBars::GetIsolatedFileName"...

 strAppDataFolder += CString(_T("\\")) + AfxGetApp()->m_pszAppName;
 CreateDirectory(strAppDataFolder, NULL);

To...

 strAppDataFolder += CString(_T("\\")) + AfxGetApp()->m_pszRegistryKey;
 CreateDirectory(strAppDataFolder, NULL); // Create directory will not create missing folders so we have to create them as we go
 strAppDataFolder += CString(_T("\\")) + AfxGetApp()->m_pszAppName;
 CreateDirectory(strAppDataFolder, NULL);

Any chance this can be fixed/improved??

Hello,

See SetCustomizationDataFileName method.

Thanks, but there is still a lot of stuff saved in the registry.

If I add an icon to the toolbar (I think also if i customise the shortcuts), that info appears to be saved in the registry.

There are also loads of reg items starting: "CommandBars" like "CommandBars-Bar0", "CommandBars-Options" etc.

It might be easier if we continue/merge this topic into this one:
