Saving user properties

Hello,

When creating a App Developer project the property settings you choose become baked in stone. The user can change their values but each time they load up the app the settings you chose will reappear overwriting any changes made by the user.

This video looks at a couple of ways to allow the user to save their settings and avoid having to re-enter them everytime they load the app.



Here are the two project files created during the video tutorial.

Hi Ben

Thank you for the video. This function is a big help.
In the video I saw you pressed reload the program button .
I have already noticed sometimes in the App developer for example,
before saving the grid in the XYChart is not ok.
But when I load again the program , the grid in an XYChart is suddenly okay ,

What effect does this reload (button) have?

regards

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Reload simply closes and reopens the project. Same as if you closed flowcode and then opened the project file again.
