CMS-TOOLS General configuration files 3
1. FOREWORD
The CMS-TOOLS product can be easily customized, partly from the user interface, partly editing
some configuration files.
Goal of this document is to explain all the configuration files of the CMS-TOOLS product with
the exception of the machine configuration files that are explained in another manual.
Some configuration examples will complete this documentation.

3. CMSWIN.INI
The structure of this file is like the one of Microsoft INI files :
[section_name1]
key1_1=value1_1
key1_2=value1_2
...
[section_name2]
key2_1=value2_1
key2_2=value2_2
...
where section_nameN and keyI_L are strings identifing sections and keys, while valueI_L are
character strings or numerical values, depending on the key.
In the following descriptions, the keys with undescored characters are to set by hand, the other
ones are used by the program itself to remember the previous state.
3.1 Section [Generali]
UndoRedoStep=number
where number is the maximum number of undo steps allowed (default 10).
UndoRedoDimens=value
where value is the maximum dimension of the project, in Bytes, to activate Undo/Redo
(default 250000).
Debug=flag
where flag is one of these values :
0 = debug off (default),
1 = debug on;
for the debug modality (prints some more informations on the command line).
DelAllProj=flag
where flag is one of these values :
0 = delete all the files with the name ot the project and extensions LAX, DP?, DL?, LS?,
VAR, ENT, HED, ENS, WMF, WMI (default),
1 = delete all the files with the name ot the project and extensions like previous option,
plus CNC, CTC, ATT;
for the command FileDelete.
MostraToolBar=flag
MostraStatusBar=flag
GrandezzaToolBar=flag
StandardToolBar=flag
AllDialogPosition=flag
SalvaDesktop=flag
are directly set by the WindowCustomize dialog.
PosWindow=values
is directly set by the program with the origin and dimensions (in pixels) of the main window.
