Getting registry names

Hi All, ive coded my app to show all sub keys of a particular key, i would like to know loop through the key and obtain all the names to show in a list box

Firstly can you pick up the registry item names (there not folders) so that i can display then in a list box ?

can any one supply me with some code to loop through the entire registry ? or is it possible to find a particular key within the registry ?

Basically , you use GetSubKeyNames function for each class in Registery Base Class to get registry Root Names .

Do the rest of the Root keys like this :

VB Code:

Dim reg As Registry
        For Each Skey As String In reg.ClassesRoot.GetSubKeyNames()
            Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(Skey)
        Next
 
        For Each Skey As String In reg.CurrentConfig.GetSubKeyNames
            Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(Skey)
        Next
 
.
.
.
etc

that loops the folders, how do you loop the contents of the folder ?

You need kind of recusive method . I'll see if it's possible though .

Not worth me buying it, as im giving the app to whom ever wants it, for free

This saved me trying to figure out how to loop throughout the registry . It needs more coding though .
