Here is a registry code that should work.
Code for a Module
Code:
Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32.dll" (ByVal HKEY As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegCreateKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegCreateKeyA" (ByVal HKEY As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, phkResult As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegDeleteKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegDeleteKeyA" (ByVal HKEY As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String) As Long
Declare Function RegDeleteValue Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegDeleteValueA" (ByVal HKEY As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String) As Long
Declare Function RegOpenKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegOpenKeyA" (ByVal HKEY As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, phkResult As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegQueryValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegQueryValueExA" (ByVal HKEY As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String, ByVal lpReserved As Long, lpType As Long, lpData As Any, lpcbData As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegSetValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegSetValueExA" (ByVal HKEY As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String, ByVal Reserved As Long, ByVal dwType As Long, lpData As Any, ByVal cbData As Long) As Long
Public Const HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = &H80000000
Public Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
Public Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Public Const HKEY_USERS = &H80000003
Public Const HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA = &H80000004
Public Const REG_SZ = 1
Function RegQueryStringValue(ByVal HKEY As Long, ByVal strValueName As String)
Dim lResult As Long
Dim lValueType As Long
Dim strBuf As String
Dim lDataBufSize As Long
On Error GoTo 0
lResult = RegQueryValueEx(HKEY, strValueName, 0&, lValueType, ByVal 0&, lDataBufSize)
If lResult = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
If lValueType = REG_SZ Then
strBuf = String(lDataBufSize, " ")
lResult = RegQueryValueEx(HKEY, strValueName, 0&, 0&, ByVal strBuf, lDataBufSize)
If lResult = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
RegQueryStringValue = StripTerminator(strBuf)
End If
End If
End If
End Function
Public Function GetSettingEx(HKEY As Long, sPath As String, sValue As String)
Dim KeyHand&
Dim datatype&
Call RegOpenKey(HKEY, sPath, KeyHand&)
GetSettingEx = RegQueryStringValue(KeyHand&, sValue)
Call RegCloseKey(KeyHand&)
End Function
Function StripTerminator(ByVal strString As String) As String
Dim intZeroPos As Integer
intZeroPos = InStr(strString, Chr$(0))
If intZeroPos > 0 Then
StripTerminator = Left$(strString, intZeroPos - 1)
Else
StripTerminator = strString
End If
End Function
Public Sub SaveSettingEx(HKEY As Long, sPath As String, sValue As String, sData As String)
Dim KeyHand As Long
Call RegCreateKey(HKEY, sPath, KeyHand)
Call RegSetValueEx(KeyHand&, sValue, 0, REG_SZ, ByVal sData, Len(sData))
Call RegCloseKey(KeyHand&)
End Sub
Usage:
Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Save a Value to the Registry
SaveSettingEx HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Myapp", "Testing", "Hello"
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
'Get a value from the Registry
Retval = GetSettingEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Myapp", "Testing")
Print Retval
End Sub
-
Code:
Public Function GetSettingLong(ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal strPath As String, ByVal strValue As String, Optional Default As Long) As Long
Note your function requires 3 arguments + 1 optional
hkey is the root key constant
path is the path your value is located in
strvalue is the value name
default (i'm not sure, guessing) is the return value if the value doesn't exist. May also be a boolean you specify if you want to return the default key value.
So you would have to do it like this:
Code:
Label1.Caption = GetSettingLong(HKEY_USERS, "Default\software\Dir\bludecd\userinfo" , "Password")
If you want, you could also search for my registry module on my homepage, it has a lot more features.
