hi how i can make ini file to my program

hi,

hi how i can make ini file to my program to save the options in it.

You need to use API calls.

Code:

---

Private Declare Function WritePrivateProfileString Lib "kernel32" Alias "WritePrivateProfileStringA" _
(ByVal lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As Any, ByVal lpString As Any, _
ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long

Private Declare Function GetPrivateProfileString Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringA" _
(ByVal lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As Any, ByVal lpDefault As String, _
ByVal lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Long, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long

---

as RobDog said... then you can use them like this

VB Code:

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetPrivateProfileString _
Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringA" (ByVal _
lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As String, _
ByVal lpDefault As String, ByVal lpReturnedString As _
String, ByVal nSize As Long, ByVal lpFileName As String) As _
Long
 
Private Declare Function WritePrivateProfileString _
Lib "kernel32" Alias "WritePrivateProfileStringA" (ByVal _
lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As Any, ByVal _
lpString As Any, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long
 
 
 
Private Function ReadINI(strsection As String, strkey As String, strfullpath As String) As String
   Dim strbuffer As String
   Let strbuffer$ = String$(750, Chr$(0&))
   Let ReadINI$ = Left$(strbuffer$, GetPrivateProfileString(strsection$, ByVal LCase$(strkey$), "", strbuffer, Len(strbuffer), strfullpath$))
End Function
 
Private Sub WriteINI(strsection As String, strkey As String, strkeyvalue As String, strfullpath As String)
    Call WritePrivateProfileString(strsection$, UCase$(strkey$), strkeyvalue$, strfullpath$)
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    'creates Test.ini that look like this:
    '[DBParam]
    'DBNAME=C:\myapp\db\mydb.mdb
    '[Temp]
    'TMPPATH=C:\myapp\tmp
    WriteINI "DBParam", "DBName", "C:\myapp\db\mydb.mdb", "C:\TEST.INI"
    WriteINI "Temp", "TMPPath", "C:\myapp\tmp", "C:\TEST.INI"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command2_Click()
    'reading the settings saved above :-)
    MsgBox ReadINI("DBParam", "DBName", "C:\TEST.INI")
    MsgBox ReadINI("Temp", "TMPPath", "C:\TEST.INI")
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command3_Click()
    'Deletes the DBNAME key entierly
    'so that the ini looks like this:
    '[DBParam]
    '[Temp]
    'TMPPATH=C:\myapp\tmp
    WriteINI "DBParam", "DBName", vbNullString, "C:\TEST.INI"
End Sub
