string GetSetting(string settingName, string settingType, string defaultValue)

Description

Retrieve the current value of a user-defined setting or a built-in setting.

Parameters

• settingName

  Name of a built-in or user-defined setting.

• settingType

  Type of this setting.

  Allowable values:

  • built-in
  • user defined

• defaultValue

  Default value to be returned if the setting has no value. (See Notes)

Return Value

String containing current value of the specified setting or, in the event that the setting is empty, the value of the defaultValue.
