Description
dev_set_preferences
allows to set selected preferences of
HDevelop within a program.
The following preferences are supported:
- 'graphics_window_context_menu' :
-
Controls whether a right click into the graphics window opens a context menu or not. By default the context menu is enabled. Disabling the context menu may be sensible if the right mouse button is used for controlling some kind of navigation in the graphics window, e.g., for moving or zooming 3D objects.
List of values: 'false' , 'true' .
Default: 'true' .
- 'graphics_window_mouse_wheel' :
-
Controls whether the mouse wheel can be used to zoom the contents of the graphics window or not. By default the mouse wheel is enabled. Disabling the mouse wheel may be sensible if 3D objects are displayed and if the zooming into the objects is realized interactively with the help of 3D display operators.
List of values: 'false' , 'true' .
Default: 'true' .
- 'graphics_window_tool_tip' :
-
Controls whether pressing the Ctrl key over the graphics window shows a tool tip with the current pixel position and the gray values under the mouse cursor or not. By default the tool tip is enabled. Disabling the tool tip may be sensible if the state of the Ctrl key shall be evaluated for program based user interactions, e.g., for manipulating the view on 3D objects.
List of values: 'false' , 'true' .
Default: 'true' .
- 'suppress_handled_exceptions_dlg' :
-
Controls whether the error dialog should be suppressed that is by default opened for exceptions that are thrown during program execution and that are enclosed by a
try
-catch
block and can therefore be handled by an exception handler. This option is persistently stored into the HDevelop.ini file and can also be configured via the Preferences dialog / General Options / Experienced User. If an exception is thrown by a program line that is not enclosed by atry
-catch
block, an error message dialog is always opened.List of values: 'false' , 'true' .
Default: 'false' (Any changes are persistently saved).
Attention
This operator is not supported for code export.
