Title: ConfigManager in main.cpp
Post by: puneet_m on August 27, 2007, 08:44:46 pm

In the function DoOnFileOpen(bool bProject), there is a  statement

ConfigManager* mgr = Manager::Get()->GetConfigManager(_T("app"));

Can anyone explain as to what does this function do?

It fetches the instance of ConfigManager. Download the SDK documentation from the following link. That will be helpful for you.

Thanks Biplab. I got the point that it is creating the instance, but what is the use of passing a namespace argument in the function GetConfigManager.

Also there are couple of statements saying this -->

mgr->Read(_T("/file_dialogs/file_new_open/filter"));
mgr->Read(_T("/file_dialogs/file_new_open/directory"), Path);

But I do not see any such folder. Where are these folders located?

Those aren't folders. That's used to read configuration values. Check default.conf (Code::Blocks' configuration file) to get an idea.

P.S.: default.conf is a XML file.

%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\codeblocks on XP
You don't know how to search a file on a disk  :wink: ?

It was a hidden folder, and I didn't do a search on hidden folders ... :(
