Design idea for managing user preferences(specifilly tables))

Hi,

I nave a requirement to save the widths, order and visibility of table columns and restore them on next open.

What I want to find is information of good ways that others use to solve this issue.

I had a look at the preferences API and think to use it to store the preferences. Of course the way preferences are stored(Pref. API, flat file or DB) is not of great impact on the problem because store/retrieval will be independend of other logic.

I want to find a good design so I change the code as little as possible.

I will appreciate links related to this problem.

Also we can discuss some design ideas in this thread,

Georgy
