Basic functions to initialize GConf and get/set values.

The following example attempts to retrieve a setting from GConf, and set a default value otherwise.


string MyVal;

GConf.Client gconfClient = new GConf.Client ();

try
{
	MyVal = (string) gconfClient.Get ("/apps/monoapps/SampleApp/setting1"));
}
catch (GConf.NoSuchKeyException)
{
	gconfClient.Set ("/apps/monoapps/SampleApp/setting1", "sample");        
}

GConf.ClientBase Method System.Void

an object of type an object of type Normally you will need to convert the value to the correct type before using it. Here is how you could set a to use the system-wide setting for style.


// assuming you have a Gtk.Toolbar named toolbar1

string val;

try
{
	GConf.Client gconfclient = new GConf.Client ();
	val = (string) gconfclient.Get ("/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style");
}
catch (GConf.NoSuchKeyException)
{
	val = "both";       
}
		
switch (val) {
	case "both":
		toolbar1.ToolbarStyle = Gtk.ToolbarStyle.Both;
		break;
	case "text":
		toolbar1.ToolbarStyle = Gtk.ToolbarStyle.Text;
		break;
	case "both_horiz":
		toolbar1.ToolbarStyle = Gtk.ToolbarStyle.BothHoriz;
		break;
	default:
		toolbar1.ToolbarStyle = Gtk.ToolbarStyle.Icons;
