Does QSettings Group check for redundant posts?

[JimKieger]

Okay, after going over my code again, I think I have it figured out now. However, I came upon something else. Does QSettings check for multiple posts automatically or do I have to use a compare operator?

Hi,

What do you mean by multiple posts ?

[JimKieger]

What I want to do is have something be compared inside a QSettings group, and if it is\isn't there, do something.

If you just want to check whether a specif key is already set, simply use:
bool QSettings::contains ( const QString & key ) const

If your key is inside a group, then either use beginGroup() before contains() or specify the key as "myGroupName/myKeyName".

Maybe you could also use QSettings::value() with an appropriate default value...

Oh I checked the documentation with that and saw it there. Crap, how did I not see it. Thanks for showing me though.
