LoadSettingsFromFile Method (PlayCtrl)

C++

public virtual void LoadSettingsFromFile( 
   string sourceFile,
   PlaySettings flags
)

'Declaration

Public Overridable Sub LoadSettingsFromFile( _
   ByVal sourceFile As String, _
   ByVal flags As PlaySettings _
)

'Usage

Dim instance As PlayCtrl
Dim sourceFile As String
Dim flags As PlaySettings
 
instance.LoadSettingsFromFile(sourceFile, flags)

public:
virtual void LoadSettingsFromFile( 
   String^ sourceFile,
   PlaySettings flags
)

Parameters

sourceFile: The file from which settings will be loaded.
flags: The PlaySettings enumeration values specifying which settings to load.

This reconstructs the play configuration using the settings found in the file. The play object settings can be saved to a file by calling SaveSettingsToFile, or to a stream by calling SaveSettingsToStream. If either PlayCtrl.SaveSettingsToFile or PlayCtrl.SaveSettingsToStream is called for settings that cannot be saved, the save method will fail. Call CanSaveObjectSettings before calling the save methods to make sure the settings can be saved. Saved settings can be loaded using the LoadSettingsFromStream method.
