Hi,

Is there any local storage option to store the values in system? After installing the toolbar i need to store the values and retrieve values anywhere in the system such as like local storage in chrome and pref.js in firefox. Like that any for IE?


Thanks,

Hi Laveena,

You can use the following code to get the path where you can store your own data files:

AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEProtectedModeAPI api = new AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEProtectedModeAPI();
if (api.IsProtectedModeOn)
{
    string pathToFolder = api.GetWriteableFolderPath();
}
else
{
    // you can use any here, for example, a user profile
}

Also you can read more about http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197062%28VS.85%29.aspx in MSDN. This feature was introduced in IE 8.

Hello Eugene,


Thank you for your response. Is it possible to store the values in local storage from all IE versions ? Any other option for this?

Hi Laveena,

No, the local storage is available in IE8 and higher. Unforunately, I can suggest no other ways.

Hello,

Thank you for your coordination.

I want to call the function once when toolbar load(When opening browser) and store this result in a variable. I need to retrieve/access this value entire browser session (still browser close).

Which event i can call for this option can you suggest us ?
