See PrefSetAppPreferences(). In your AppStart(),
check if prefs exists and if not, create them. You
can store whatever you want there. Normally app prefs
are used to store info like the current form, game
state, etc.
Sample code:
YourPreferenceType prefs;
UInt16 prefSize;
prefSize = sizeof( prefs );
if ( PrefGetAppPreferences ( AppFileCreator, 0,
&prefs, &prefSize, true ) != noPreferenceFound )
{
// get preferences, e.g.
gRunCount = prefs.runCount;
}
else
{
// create default preferences and save them
prefs.runCount = 0;
PrefSetAppPreferences ( AppFileCreator, 0,
AppVersion, &prefs, sizeof( YourPreferenceType ), true
);
}
