In AppStop(), save whatever info you need to restore your state in your
app's preferences. In AppStart(), get the saved preferences if there are
any. If there aren't any saved preferences, set default prefs.
For example:
static void AppStop( void )
{
YourPreferenceType prefs;
// get current state
prefs.currentSomething = gSomething;
// save current state
PrefSetAppPreferences ( AppFileCreator, 0, AppVersion, &prefs,
sizeof( YourPreferenceType ), true );
FrmCloseAllForms ();
}
static Err AppStart( void )
{
YourPreferenceType prefs;
UInt16 prefSize;
prefSize = sizeof( prefs );
if ( PrefGetAppPreferences ( AppFileCreator, 0, &prefs,
&prefSize, true ) != noPreferenceFound )
{
// store preferences in global vars
gSomething = prefs.currentSomething;
}
else
{
// create default preferences & set globals
gSomething = prefs.currentSometing = SomeDefault;
PrefSetAppPreferences ( AppFileCreator, 0, 1, &prefs,
sizeof( YourPreferenceType ), true );
}
return errNone;
}
