opening config file

[sertol]

Hello:

I am able to read and wirte to a configuration file. My problem is that the operator has to select a configutation file everytime they run the program. I need to be able to have my program open the file without having the operator to select to open a file.

It would be easiest to point out how to fix the problem if you posted the code or at least a picture of where you are having to select the configuration file in the code.

The short answer is to wire in a path constant containing the path of the config file rather than leaving it unwired or using a file dialog.

here is a copy of my write to config file.

I would save the selected path to the Windows registry every time the user wants to choose a different selection. When the program loads, look in the registry for the path.

Even better: Save it in a config file!
