The SDK walks you through creating a settings tab, but it gives no detail on how to get/save settings (the SDK explicitly says the tutorial doesn't cover this - what's the point of a settings tutorial if you're only learning how to display the tab?).
I've played around with reflector and done some experimentation, but I'm still not getting it. A few questions:
1) The SDK talks about using commit() to return true when you've saved data to "backend objects." Is there some WHS API for this, or are we talking about app.config/.ini file or something similar?
2) How can I get the GUID of the current tab? I can opensettings(GUID), if I already know the appropriate value. There's the SettingsGuid property on the tab, but I can't figure out the name of the object that has the property to get it. Not a big deal, but it'd be nice to know.
3) How do I retrieve settings (such as which columns are active in a listview, for example) from the settings tab? Or is that done by accessing the "backend object" directly?
It feels like I'm missing something really obvious here.
