Hi Folks,
It must be that i'm too sleepy or worked too much this day, but i'm
missing something here...
I want to load, get, set and save some settings into my program and i'm
doing so using an xml-file. All good there, code looks good and looks
like its workin allright.
Now I want every setting I read being put into an IDL container, one
container for the setting name, one container for the value. I like the
idea of an container for that it manages its size automatically and - I
though of it as a feature - that I could use isContained("name",
POSITION=pos) to find elements.
Now, appearantly I was wrong. First of all, it seems i can only put
objects into that container as it doesn't accept a string. There flies
the idea of searching in a fast way. Second, well there really is no
second...if I can't store strings, I can't store any names nor any
values (all settings are stored as string).
Now, am I thinking to complicated, or is there a workaround to put
strings into those containers and keep the nice "isContained" searching
(which its function I probably just misunderstood)?
Looking forward to some wise thoughts :)
Cheers,
Laurens
