I have a couple of MapInfo programs that use external EXEs for some functionality (e.g. ogr2ogr for layer conversion and OV2 Tools for satnav data output). In my programs I would like to have a settings dialog where you set the location of these EXEs and then somehow store these so that they are remembered even after Mapinfo has been closed down. What's the best way to do this? |

You could store the path in a text file which your program then reads when you start the tool up. For example, the Named Views tool stores data in a xml document at C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\MapInfo\MapInfo\nviews.xml |

Like above, just use a properties file, that is overwritten with the last known exe you've typed in, and pre populates a dialogue. Can be any format. You then open read/write and close it just like any text file. |
