No not realy..
But if I use BMessage I need to store some part as [device_id]_[name of
settings].
No I have two way's of reading this.
1. look at what devices are connected and read BMessage that has
[device_id]_[name of settings]
2. Read all BMessages and store them in a Dicinary type (does c++ have
one?) and in that Dicinary read out [device_id]_[name of settings]
So whitch one are preferd? 1 takes less memmory
