Arguments

Filename Argument Type: String
Required
Specifies the path and filename for the settings file. Supply complete path information if the file isn't on the Reflection macro path.

Type Argument Type: Enumeration
Optional
Identifies what settings to open. If this argument is omitted, the default is rcSettings. Use only one constant value for this argument. You cannot add two values. Only rcSettings changes all existing settings. If you use one of the other options, all existing settings remain unchanged except those specified. The possible values are:

rcSettings

Opens a complete settings file. This activates all of the settings in the file.

rcColors

Activates just the color settings in the file, and ignores all other settings.

rcConnection

Activates just the connection settings in the file, and ignores all other settings.

rcHotspots

Activates just the hotspot settings in the file, and ignores all other settings.

rcKeymap

Activates just the keymap (keyboard and mouse map) settings in the file, and ignores all other settings.

rcMenuMap

Activates just the menu settings in the file, and ignores all other settings.

rcToolbar

Activates just the toolbar settings in the file, and ignores all other settings.

Options Argument Type: Enumeration
Optional
This argument has an effect only if you are opening a complete or partial settings file that configures a connection. If this argument is omitted, Reflection will automatically make the connection. Use the following value for this argument if you want to open the settings file without making the connection.

rcNoConnect

Opens the specified settings file without making a connection.
