JJ FLEX system?

[cassb]

Does anyone know the programmer of the JJ FLEX system? I have heard that maybe Dierk had a hand in it, but I'm not sure. In the parameters, there's a LOAD and SAVE parameter when it will load and save the parameter settings from a file. I would like to get a look at the code that does this.

Thanks!

Sorry does not ring a bell here - they most likely load the paramters used from an XML or INI file, that's what I've seen used on some commercial addons so far.

OK thanks, Bertrand. It would be cool to know how they do it. You just click on the parameter name and it loads up whatever file of parameter settings you typed in -- pretty slick.

cassb,

You can maybe use this as a starting point to learn about reading XML in C#/.NET

OK, thanks Adam. I already have written code to read parameters in from a flat file. What I need to know though is how you allow clicking of a parameter name to interactively open, load and update the list of parameters without closing the Strategies window.

cassb,

How do they do it in the JJ Flex? Is it a text field or a drop down menu list?

You would have to trap the mouse event, and use the file reading code as its handler.

I think you're right, although I still don't know how they update and refresh the parameter list from the mouse event.
