your modded function has turned out great... i should be adding it to the main post on top.. u uploading it somewhere?

_________________

Hey! god you guys have really taken off on this, it's great! I'm still using the first one that still came out in my script, but I'm going to upgrade it really soon

I had 2 requests that I would find very helpful if you could do them

1. Preselected Key (if you want someone to go to a certain key first, or in my case, want to make sure someone realizes they should open the section)
2. Have certain values that are acceptable. For example, in my script, I test whether someone puts in "Yes" or "No", I wouldn't want them putting in any other thing or else it can mess up the script. Maybe a dropdown menu with possible options

Thanks for th honor. I'll upload it soon. The post is getting too long now. But first I would like to enhance it a bit more.

I do not know how this could do be done. Any suggestions? Rajat?

Hmmm, good idea, Have to think about it. Maybe a key type "DropDown" with a comma separated list following the type definition.

Thanks for the feedback.

ahk doesn't have any direct way of selecting a treeview item AFAIK, so the only way i can think of is Sending Keys %DefaultSec%{Right}%DefaultKey%

I found a way to select the first key of the first sectionI also added a DropDown key type. Will update the script in the above post in a few minutes

I was wondering if you guys could come up with a better name for the function. "EditSettings" is a bit too simple and I'm not sure if the functionality behind it is clear by its name. What do you think?

SetConfig()
Configure()
ConfigEdit()

Thanks for the suggestions. I want to wait for rajat, before I make a decission.

PS: Just added custom date & time formats for the DateTime key type. And resozed some controls in the GUI. (The script above is NOT yet updated.) Anything else users wish for?

Not for me... I'm not currently using the full functionality of the script, but I'm sure I will, but I can't think of any other updates at the moment.

As far as names, I suggest having something with the name INI so that it shows that its editting an INI

ConfigINI
EditINISettings, something that says more specfically

I updated the code and redesigned my first post.

BTW: I changed the name of the function to "IniSettingsEditor". I hope you bear with me that I didn't start a poll on it.

yeah that's a good name, and not a problem, it's your and Goyyah's thing .

I was thinking of something that could go along with this, and that is making a function that adds in the extra line of functionality

maybe make a similar IniWrite funciton except adds description and type? I don't know, this could be quite hard. The only reason I ask is because I create my .ini dynamically (on request of the user) and then launch this program

dunno if this is possible, but just an idea

hey toralf! Just come back from work and checked out your latest offering... Its nothing short of awesome!
I've updated my main post to add a link to your post just next to the d/l link to my script. This way whoever reads just the first post will not miss your script.

I'm sure this script of ours is all set to become THE settings editor for many ahk scripts!

by the way it has occurred to me earlier too but forgot to mention it... How about removing the 'Type : xxxx' from showing in description? ... it looks more part-of-code-thing than descriptive. if needed we can always use the normal description to explain the reqmts of the particular setting.

and yeah... Thanks for all those improvements!

Hi Rajat,

Thanks for the link and the respect.

Of cause it is possible, but I think it isn't bad to have it there, it adds some more information to the description. How do other feel about this?

I was thinking of maybe having a key default value similiar to the key type (e.g. ;somekey default: xxxx) And a button on the GUI to reset all values to their defaults. But I guess it not that often used.

I was also thinking of a max/min limit for Integer and Float numbers, but couldn't think of an elegant way to implement that. Maybe also a max length for text. But only if code size is small. I don't want to make the script more complex.

now that you mention it, I remember I had it on my mind initially to have a 'default' button that resets the currently selected value to its default value (though i hadn't planned for a set-all-to-default button). it should be easily do-able.


this i think isn't worth the effort. Also for special needs, the host script can always check the updated setting in the .ini and MsgBox that this particular setting isn't correct and should be changed to whatever.

Hey - another request that would be helpful

Making it able to pick up multiple ini's, this might be a big add on, and then it would just go down further in the tree

-Kerry

P.S. I think both of those defaults would be good - you guys rock
