LoadMovableCtrlSettings gives Invalid Control ID Error

[RKGupta]

Hello

I am calling the function LoadMovableCtrlSettings which is giving an Error ie Invaild Control ID when i pass a handle which returned by NewPanel function.

Piece of Code:

first save the settings

SaveMovableCtrlSettings (ActivePanel, -1, "custctrl"); //Saved moveable control settings

then called

 newpanelID = NewPanel(0,panelHandle,"Animation",50,50,700,1000) ;

DisplayPanel(newpanelID); //Works fine till here
 cnt = LoadMovableCtrlSettings (newpanelID,2,"custctrl"); //Gives error: Invalid Control ID. Why???????????

Looking for help...

Thanks

Rakesh

//Also tried with DuplicatePanel,LoadPanel but same error.......

Rakesh,

It looks like your error is complaining because you are passing 2 as the ID of the control to load settings for, when your panel actually has no controls on it. LoadMovableCtrlSettings will not add controls to a panel, but instead is meant to apply settings previously saved for a particular control (or controls) on a panel. If you want to apply the settings from the file to a new panel that you create, you will need to use LoadPanel to create the new panel; this will ensure that the control IDs of the newly-created panel are the same as the ones saved by SaveMovableCtrlSettings.

Hope this helps.
