# GUI-Settings-Saver

Saves a GUI's settings, and loads them for convenience.

Settings are stored to and parsed from a .xml file. Beware that these files can easily be edited, and GUI settings could be changed manually. This is good to note in the case that you might rely on your GUI to enable/disable features based on certain requirements, but these parameters can be avoided by changing the .xml file's settings.

There is an example test-file that demonstrates the file saving capabilities this program has called "Test.java"

###Example to load settings:

```java

SettingsLoader loader = new SettingsLoader(new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Desktop")));

        loader.loadCheckBox(getCheckBox1(), "checkBox1")

                .loadComboBox(getComboBox1(), "comboBox1")

                .loadTextField(getTextField1(), "textField1")

                .loadTextArea(getTextArea1(), "textArea1")

                .loadSlider(getSlider1(), "slider1")

                .loadSpinner(getSpinner1(), "spinner1")

                .loadButton(getButton1(), "button1")

                .loadRadioButton(getRadioButton1(), "radioButton1")

                .loadLabel(getLabel1(), "label1")

                .loadToggleButton(getToggleButton1(), "toggleButton1")

                .loadTextPane(getTextPane1(), "textPane1");

```

###Example to save settings:

```java

addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {

            @Override

            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {

                SettingsSaver saver = new SettingsSaver();

                saver.addCheckBox(getCheckBox1(), "checkBox1")

                        .addComboBox(getComboBox1(), "comboBox1")

                        .addLabel(getLabel1(), "label1")

                        .addRadioButton(getRadioButton1(), "radioButton1")

                        .addToggleButton(getToggleButton1(), "toggleButton1")

                        .addButton(getButton1(), "button1")

                        .addTextField(getTextField1(), "textField1")

                        .addTextArea(getTextArea1(), "textArea1")

                        .addTextPane(getTextPane1(), "textPane1")

                        .addSpinner(getSpinner1(), "spinner1")

                        .addSlider(getSlider1(), "slider1");

                saver.saveToFile(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Desktop");

            }

        });

```

###Example XML file output after saving:

```xml

    

        true

        true

    

    

        true

        2

        Before Text4

        Before Text3

        Before Text2

        Before Text1

    

    

        true

        Before Text

    

    

        true

        true

    

    

        true

        true

    

    

        true

    

    

        true

        Before Text@@@@

    

    

        true

        Before Text1234

    

    

        true

        Before Text!!!!!

    

    

        true

        1111

    

    

        true

        72

    

```

###General Rules:

Objects you wish to save **MUST** be saved **and** loaded with the same IDs.

For example, if you save a JComboBox `.addComboBox(getComboBox1(), "comboBox1")` you need to load it the same way, using "comboBox1" as the parameter ID: `.loadComboBox(getComboBox1(), "comboBox1")`. Notice how both saving and loading share the same **comboBox1** parameter ID.
