[eyestrain]

this is originally coded by monxxx -thanks to him and credit always goes to him

i am not on delphi i want to learn more on visual basic,
i try to compile this and this is the screenshot of my work


but if anyone can convert this on vb that will really a big help
because i understand a bit of code on vb while on delphi im zero level

Reg.OpenKey('Software\Yahoo\pager\Test', True);
Memo1.Text := 'Disabling yahoo msgr multiple account login done! :-(';
Reg.WriteInteger('Plural', 0);
Reg.Free;

end.

thank you in advance,

Thread moved from the 'CodeBank VB6' forum (which is for you to post working code examples, not questions) to the 'VB6' forum

[eyestrain]

oh sorry for my mistake sir, and thanks for moving this to the right section,

im still having a problem on my code on vb,
still hoping anyone can convert this whole code to vb

thanks

Most of the code you want converting is Registry releated do a search on the forum for "Accessing the Registry" you find lots of examples. as for the rest of the code the memo part you can use a textbox

Text1.Text := "Enabling yahoo msgr multiple account login done! :-)'"

Hope that gives you some ideas

open new project in VB
now you have a new empty form
add two command buttons to it
name them SpeedButton1, SpeedButton2
add text box, name it Memo1

Private Sub SpeedButton1_Click()
  Memo1.Text = "Enabling yahoo msgr multiple account login done! :-)"
End Sub

Private Sub SpeedButton2_Click()
  Memo1.Text = "Disabling yahoo msgr multiple account login done! :-("
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
 Form1.caption = "yahoo! messenger multiple account login patcher"
End Sub

now try to fill the registery code in the buttons events, by searching a bit in this forum/google
if you can't and no one else can help, i help you later with this

[eyestrain]

thanks sir benjones and sir whatsup for the tip,
i think i can make it now

ill try it,
and about the word googling the "accessing the registry" i think this one also will help me



thanks guys

[eyestrain]

i make it work with vb...

Private Sub CmdYMulti_Click()
Dim D As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set D = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
D.regwrite "HKCU\Software\yahoo\pager\Test\Plural", 1, "REG_DWORD"
lblstat.Caption = "Yahoo Multi Enabled"
End Sub

i have a question,
why do we need this line?

Set D = CreateObject("wscript.shell")

what is his work?

Is there any other simple way that is easy to understand?
its almost half a month
searching and reading really help

[whatsup]

you can use api function

Sub WriteRegNum(ByVal lKey As Long, ByVal sSubKey As String, ByVal sValueName As String, ByVal lData As Long)
    Dim lRet As Long

    Call RegCreateKey(lKey, sSubKey, lRet)
    Call RegSetValueEx(lRet, sValueName, 0, REG_DWORD, lData, 4)
    Call RegCloseKey(lRet)
End Sub


Private Sub Form_Load()
  WriteRegNum HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\yahoo\pager\Test", "Plural", 1
End Sub

[eyestrain]

i think using that api becomes more complicated to my level, i still go with my small code
and sir you didnt answer the job of this line Set D = CreateObject("wscript.shell")

thanks for the answer

[whatsup]

this line let you use the functions that in the object "wscript.shell"
this line

D.regwrite "HKCU\Software\yahoo\pager\Test\Plural", 1, "REG_DWORD"

is one of its functions, and it does exactly the same task that i showed in my code.

[si_the_geek]

CreateObject is basically a way of creating a Reference (via Project->References) while your code is running.

Doing it that way means the code runs more slowly (not a big deal for the code you have), but it does mean that you shouldn't have problems if your users have different versions of the Reference files.


By the way, I recommend reading the article What is wrong with using "On Error Resume Next"? from our Classic VB FAQs (in the FAQ forum)

[eyestrain]

okey its clear now,
thanks again for the explanation sir whatsup, and thanks sir si_the_geek for the link
ill give time to read it
