Introduction

This example will illustrate how the value of a control can be saved to a *.confg file and then retrieved. If you open the source code you will notice that a class writes the data to a Config (*.confg) file.

Though there are many ways of saving and retrieving application data, this GUI illustrates one of my favorites. Reboot from Xtreme Visual Basic Talk gets all of the credit for coding the class. He wrote the class and I simply designed a GUI to illustrate (to ?New Guys? like myself) how it works.
