Question

I am having some trouble with my code that is supposed to redo the changes made by the user in the settings. When I click no after closing the form, the ribbonBar2 goes away, but when I open the settings up, the checkbox is still checked, although it isn’t supposed to be. Why?

Form1 frm1;
public Form8(Form1 frm1): this()
{
    this.frm1 = frm1;
}

private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{             
    frm1.ribbonBar2.Visible = checkBox1.Checked;            
}

private void form8_closing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
    Properties.Settings.Default.checkBox1 = checkBox1.Checked;

    DialogResult result1 = MessageBox.Show("Do you want to Save your Settings?", "Warning!", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
    if (result1 == DialogResult.Yes)
    {
        Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
    }

    if (result1 == DialogResult.No)
    {
        checkBox1.Checked = !Properties.Settings.Default.checkBox1;
    }

    e.Cancel = false;  
}

As it looks like no one is willing to help you with this…

You don’t restore any setting that you saved. If I understand you right, you want to do something like this:

public Form8(Form1 frm1): this()
{
    // Restore the settings when loading the form
    checkBox1.Checked = Properties.Settings.Default.checkBox1;
}

private void form8_closing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
    if (DialogResult.Yes == MessageBox.Show("Do you want to Save your Settings?",
                    "Warning!", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Warning))
    {
        // Set the setting and save it
        Properties.Settings.Default.checkBox1 = checkBox1.Checked;
        Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
    }
}
