Ini |
|
Inifile class to use when writing data. |
Section |
|
Section to which to write the global data |
SaveToIni does the actual writing. It writes the number of elements in the global section (as specified by the Section argument), as well as the section name for each item in the list. The item names are written using the Prefix property for the key. After this it calls the SaveToIni method of all TIniCollectionItem instances.
This means that the global section of the .ini file will look something like this:
[globalsection] Count=3 Prefix1=SectionPrefixFirstItemName Prefix2=SectionPrefixSecondItemName Prefix3=SectionPrefixThirdItemName
This construct allows to re-use an ini file for multiple collections.
After this method is called, the GlobalSection property contains the value of Section, it will be used in the Save method.
