(RESOLVED) Registry problem (simple)
ok, i've done this plenty of times before, but i'm currently having a brain hemerage and can't figure it out.
VB Code:
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim lngHKey As Long
Dim strData As String
Dim lngLenData As Long
If RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion", _
0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, lngHKey) Then
MsgBox "Couldn't open key!", vbCritical, "Error"
Unload Me
End If
If RegQueryValueEx(lngHKey, "ProductKey", 0, REG_SZ, strData, 29) Then
MsgBox "Couldn't retrieve Windows 98 product key!", vbCritical, "Error!"
RegCloseKey lngHKey
Unload Me
End If
RegCloseKey lngHKey
lblProductKey.Caption = strData
End Sub
strData is returning ""....
cheers guys
