Changing User Settings

The HFMwSession component includes properties and methods that apply to user preferences. The following table lists the user preferences and the corresponding HFMwSession properties:

Table 2. User Preferences and HFMwSession Properties

User Preference	HFMwSession property
Decimal character	decimalSeparator
Thousands separator character	thousandsSeparator
Default language for descriptions	descriptionLanguage
Uses applets	usesApplets
Save files in Unicode	extractEncoding

By default, changes to these properties do not persist past the current session. However, you can save changes to these user settings with the HFMwSession method ApplyUserSettings.

For an example that shows how to change the decimal and thousands separator characters, see the example for ApplyUserSettings.
