The point was that I could also write an operator>> which read the config, into the settings object. What is not clear, is how the cfg object (which has accessor members) can write into the Settings struct.
Ah, now I see. Please scroll to the end of the document after this section http://www.litwindow.com/lwl/doc/html/comparison_10x.html#complex_rules "Preparing to use the Lit Window Library". The cfg object accesses the Settings object or any other object through a 'data abstraction layer', a type of reflection mechanism. The "Preparing to use..." section shows you what you have to do for the Settings class definition so that the operator >> knows what to do. A 'data adapter' is basically a map<string, accessor>, mapping member variables of a class to get/set functions.
Does Lit parse the header file of wxConfigBase?
No, it does not parse header files. You have to include a small declaration for the data adapter. See the "Preparing..." text part of the document above.
I'll take more of a look this coming weekend, as I'm not sure I follow the tutorials...
Thanks a lot, I am looking forward to your comments. Best regards Hajo Kirchhoff
