i am working in Delphi-7
on a component that basically creates a zip file and has 5 features (below)
1] Folder
2] Images
3] text files
4] Create a Folder of the zip file in Application directory Or the application data directory
5] Create Zip file or not
The component will be dropped onto a form. Now i have another application (settingAppl) from which the user can actually decide to enable any of the 5
features for the component.
Everything is working fine as i have saved the user-selected settings in the registry
. Rather than using the registry (i am not sure if its a good idea to send the registry *.reg with the component), I used a DAT file About.com_fileof_delphi to which settingAppl will write the 5 settings. I need to send the file with the application that will have the component so that it can read the 5 settings.
Is there a way that i can directly set the 5 settings into the component as i am stuck what to do if the file is missing from the application directory?
Like Eureka log does, can any one tell me how to do something similar to this? Meaning when we set the settings in eureka logs , the programmer doesn't have to include/send a file along with the final application
