Load

Loads list element data from a file.

virtual bool  Load(
   int  file_handle      // file handle
   )

Parameters

file_handle

[in]  Handle of the binary file opened earlier using the FileOpen() function.

Return Value

true – successfully completed, false - error.

Note

Load(int) method in the CObject class always returns 'true' and does not perform any action. If you want to load the data of a derived class from a file, the Load(int) method should be implemented.

Example:

//--- example for CObject::Load(int)
#include <Object.mqh>
//---
void OnStart()
  {
   int    file_handle;
   CObject *object=new CObject;
   //---
   if(object!=NULL)
     {
      printf("Object create error");
      return;
     }
   //--- open file
   file_handle=FileOpen("MyFile.bin",FILE_READ|FILE_BIN|FILE_ANSI);
   if(file_handle>=0)
     {
      if(!object.Load(file_handle))
        {
         //--- file load error
         printf("File load: Error %d!",GetLastError());
         delete object;
         FileClose(file_handle);
         //---
         return;
        }
      FileClose(file_handle);
     }
   //--- use object 
   //--- . . .
   delete object;
  }
