==Compiling==
|
|
|
|
* Launch EiffelStudio.
|
|
* Click '''Add project'''
|
|
* Browse to ''$ISE_EIFFEL\examples\preferences\''.
|
|
* Choose ''preferences_example.ecf''
|
|
* Choose the location where the project will be compiled, by default the same directory containing the configuration file.
|
|
* Choose the target: ''registry'' (Windows only) will use the registry to store the preferences, ''xml'' will use a xml file to store the preferences.
|
|
* Click '''OK'''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==Running==
|
|
|
|
After launching the application, you will see a window displayed with 2 buttons. When clicked each will display a window showing the preferences, one is the default view provided with the library, the other is a custom view for purposes of example. The default view looks like:
|
|
|
|
[[Image:normal|preferences_example_normal_view]]
|
|
|
|
The custom view looks like:
|
|
|
|
[[Image:custom|preferences_example_normal_view]]
|
|
|
|
In each dialog you can select the preferences and alter the values.
|
|
==Under the Hood==
|
|
|
|
This example shows you how to achieve the following tasks:
|
|
|
|
* Create preferences using the library supplied preference types and associated views
|
|
* Use the default widget for viewing preferences and manipulating their values
|
|
* Create a custom preference (a preference for storing correctly formatted directory path names)
|
|
* Create a widget to view and change the custom preference type value
|
|
* Create a custom manager to register custom types to the system
|
|
* Create a custom dialog for viewing all the preferences
