Search for: KB10521 - Problem loading configuration files (old .INI config files). Question from a DK customer: "We have a problem with the DK loading configuration files (old .INI config files) even with setting TGIS_LayerSHP.UseConfig=false and TGIS_LayerSHP.UseFileParams=false. It seems to be ignoring the false settings? We have provided our code for your review." The problem is you are using the .userConfig=FALSE setting after adding the layer to the viewer (the INI file will be read upon .Add). You should use UserConfig before call .Add, as follows: TfrmMain.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var ; ll : TGIS_LayerVector ; begin ; ll := TGIS_LayerSHP.Create ; ; ll.Path := 'c:\temp\testbed\states.shp' ; ; ll.UseConfig := False ; ; GIS.Add( ll ) ; ; GIS.FullExtent ; end ;< p> Created: April 09, 2004, Modified: August 28, 2015
