Workspace file - passing additional information
 
m note
 
Line 1: Line 1:
How to add a parameter in your .ws file and pass it in to your program. In this example I need to know where the document folder is found for each user, usually the same location for all users. This then allows the Docs folder to be found anywhere on a network. I use a global variable to store the location. If not defined in the .ws file default it from the home location.

I just put this code near the bottom of the source (.src)
 
Function MyValueWS String sKey Returns String
  String sValue
  String sWorkspaceWSFile
  Handle hoWorkspace hoIniFile
  Move (phoWorkSpace(ghoApplication)) to hoWorkspace
  Get psWorkspaceWSFile of hoWorkspace to sWorkspaceWSFile
  Get Create U_cIniFile to hoIniFile
  Set psFilename of hoIniFile to sWorkspaceWSFile
  Get ReadString of hoIniFile 'Workspace' sKey ' ' to sValue
  Function_Return sValue
End_Function
 
Get MyValueWS "DocsFolder" to gsDocsFolder
If gsDocsFolder eq "" Begin
  Get psHome of (phoWorkspace(oApplication(Self))) to gsDocsFolder
  Move (gsDocsFolder-"Docs") to gsDocsFolder
End
 
 
//The .ws file may look like this:
Workspace]
Home=..\
BitmapPath=.\Bitmaps
DataPath=c:\Members\CEPU
HelpPath=.\Help
ProgramPath=.\Programs
FileList=c:\Members\CEPU\Filelist.cfg
Description=MASS - Membership Administration Software Solution - CEPU
DocsFolder=c:\Test\Docs
