Accessing Windows Registry

[pdriley]

Is there a general way to access the Windows registry for read-only purposes? I am aware of the Visual BASIC SaveSetting etc functions, which allow an application to store parameters, but these don't reach the whole registry. Is there an ActiveX component that does the job?

Thanks,

Paul Riley

Hi Paul,

You can write your own VB function. There are a lot of samples on the net.
Search for Windows API functions like:
RegOpenKeyEx
RegQueryValueEx
RegQueryInfoKey

My own function is already havy customized so I can't paste ready sample 😞

Take a look here: http://www.vbarchiv.net/vbapi/RegOpenKeyEx.php

Adam,

Thanks. I managed to find a free registry ActiveX control. Its called WinRegistry2, or WinReg2.

I will look at your reference and try that way too.

Thanks,

Paul

check out iCF for a bas module that I use. It's very easy to read or write
using this module...
