CanSaveObjectSettings Method

Summary

Determines whether the specified settings can be saved.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public virtual bool CanSaveObjectSettings( 
   PlaySettings flags 
)

public: 
virtual bool CanSaveObjectSettings(  
   PlaySettings flags 
)

Parameters

flags
A combination of PlaySettings enumeration values.

Return Value

true if the specified settings can be saved; otherwise, false if one or more of the specified settings cannot be saved.

Remarks

Play object settings can be saved to a stream by calling SaveSettingsToStream. These settings can also be saved to a file by calling SaveSettingsToFile. Settings saved to a file can be loaded using LoadSettingsFromFile. Settings saved to a stream can be loaded using LoadSettingsFromStream. To make sure the settings you want to save can be saved, call CanSaveObjectSettings before calling either SaveSettingsToFile or SaveSettingsToStream. If either SaveSettingsToFile or SaveSettingsToStream is called for settings that cannot be saved, the save function will fail. Multiple settings can be combined in the Flags parameter. If multiple settings are combined in the flags parameter, all of the settings must be capable of being saved in order for this method to return true.
