Open Dev Kit Documentation :: Demo - Saving Loading

Demo project for demonstrating various saving and loading techniques.

How it Works

This demo project demonstrates various saving and loading techniques using multiple Window UIs for specific functions such as Clipboard management, text/image files, objects (XML/Binary API data), and INI settings. Some key features include the use of Open File Dialog, Save File Dialog, and Alert Box functions for user interaction. The Objects Window utilizes a global instance gMyClass of MyClass, with parameters like mText, mBool, and mInt for XML/Binary serialization and deserialization.

Below is a breakdown of each window and the functions it utilizes:

Clipboard

• Allows reading from, writing to, and clearing the system Clipboard.
• Main Functions Used: GUI.Clipboard, GUI.ShowAlertBox

Text File

• Allows reading and writing .txt files via a Windows Explorer file dialog window, with a Textbox for displaying the data read/to-be-written.
• Main Functions Used: GUI.ShowOpenFileDialog, GUI.ShowSaveFileDialog, Root.Filesystem.FileReadString, Root.Filesystem.FileWriteString, GUI.ShowAlertBox

Image File

• Allows reading and writing image files via a Windows Explorer file dialog window, with an image box for displaying the data.
• Main Functions Used: GUI.ShowOpenFileDialog, GUI.ShowSaveFileDialog, Root.Filesystem.FileReadResource, Root.Filesystem.FileWriteXMLObject, GUI.ShowAlertBox

API Object

• Allows serialization and deserialization of structured API object data using XML and binary formats via a Windows Explorer file dialog window. Contains additional parameter settings like String, Bool and Integer for writing onto the object files.
• Main Functions Used: GUI.ShowOpenFileDialog, GUI.ShowSaveFileDialog, Root.Filesystem.FileReadResource, Root.Filesystem.FileWriteXMLObject, GUI.ShowAlertBox

INI Settings

• Allows reading and writing application settings stored in INI configuration files via a Windows Explorer file dialog window. Contains additional parameter settings like "Section", "Key" and "Value".
• Main Functions Used: GUI.ShowOpenFileDialog, GUI.ShowSaveFileDialog, Root.Filesystem.ConfigReadString, Root.Filesystem.ConfigWriteString, GUI.ShowAlertBox
