[RESOLVED] Creating, Updating and Deleting Registry Key

Are you sure above code is correct. It didn't delete the key I specified. I suspect an error over here.

Code:

---

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    '~~> Check if the specified key exists under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    RegOpenKeyEx HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKey, 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, Result
   
    '~~> If the key doesn't exist, inform user
    If Result = 0 Then
        MsgBox "Key Doesn't Exist"
    Else
        '~~> Delete the key
        RegDeleteKey Result, ""
        '~~> close the handle
        RegCloseKey Result
        MsgBox "Deleted"
    End If
End Sub

---

      

No that is incorrect...

RegDeleteKey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", StrDeleteKey

Check my last post... I have already uploaded a sample...

Well I gotta go now...

Before I go, let me explain... Look at the declaration below... see the word in red...

Code:

---

'~~> The RegDeleteKey function deletes the specified key
Private Declare Function RegDeleteKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegDeleteKeyA" _
(ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String) As Long

---

The value has to be a 'Long' and not a 'String'... and hence your code was failing... Go carefully through the sample I posted ;)

I hope it helps...

Also I think you should now rename your thread to

"Creating, Updating and Deleting Registry Key"

from

"Creating Registry Key" :lol:

tc :wave:

I'm successful now. I don't know how I should my gratitudeness towards you. Many many thanks to you again.
