Registry HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE

[R@emdonck]

Hi,

Can somebody please write me a code example how to save a value in the registry but, it has to be located in the HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE section.

About the example:

this is how it should look like:

HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE

MainFolder

SubFolder

Value


Thanks R@emdonck

I do think this is not what you are searching for, but me it will helps you further.


RegisterName = "New"
Sav = "This is a test"
YourPath = "Users\yours"

SaveSetting "Logon Master", YourPath, RegisterName, Sav
ReGi = GetSetting("Logon Master", YourPath, RegisterName, "X")
DeleteSetting "Logon Master", YourPath, RegisterName


Nice regards,

Michelle.

You can't create a Registry Entry Directly off the Root of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE it has to come off of one of the Subkeys, ie. Software, eg.

Private Declare Function RegCreateKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegCreateKeyA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, phkResult As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32.dll" (ByVal hKey As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RegSetValue Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegSetValueA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, ByVal dwType As Long, ByVal lpData As String, ByVal cbData As Long) As Long

Private Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim lRegKey As Long

If RegCreateKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\Main Folder\Sub Folder", lRegKey) = 0 Then
Call RegSetValue(lRegKey, "", 1, "Value", Len("Value"))
End If
If lRegKey Then Call RegCloseKey(lRegKey)
End Sub
