    Settings Class
    In This Topic
    Settings are used to save values of variables beyond the runtime of the program and to make them available again the next time program is run (similar to the Windows registry). A setting has a unique identifier in the system. A value or a list of values can be saved to a setting. It is possible to group settings into structures SchemeSetting.

    Syntax
    public class Settings : ISettings  
    public ref class Settings : public ISettings  
    Remarks
    Due to changes in EPLAN, it may happen that settings will change their type or name or that some settings will be completely removed. We cannot guarantee the long-term compatibility of settings. When updating to a newer version, please check your source code, whether the settings you use are still working.
    Example
    Access to a setting of the system
    try
    {
      String strGuiLanguage= new Settings().GetStringSetting("USER.SYSTEM.GUI.LANGUAGE", 0);
      new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "The user interface language is set to: "+ strGuiLanguage, "", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
    }
    catch (BaseException exc)
    {
      String strMessage= exc.Message;
      new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "Exception: " + strMessage, "", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
    }
