Saving data

[kawaiiarashi]

I have a text box wherein once you open the program, there's already a text in it and its enabled property is set to false.

I have two command buttons. The function of the first one is that once you click it, then textbox.enabled=true which means you can edit it. The other one is that you can save the changes made in the text box then textbox.enabled=false. Once you open the program again, the one you typed on the textbox before clicking the 'save' command button will be the one to appear on the text box. Is it possible and if yes, what is the code? Thanks!

Hi.. Welcome to the forums...

To get back the previous value when you reopen the program, you need to save it to somewhere.

The options are:

• save to a file
• save to registry
• save to database

You could select any one of the above mentioned methods.

For the code, you have to search this forum as it has already been discussed several times on how to save in the above three ways.

To save in the registry, the easiest way is like this:

In form_unload write:
SaveSetting(App.Name, "Settings", "MyValue_1", Me.txtValue.Text)


In form_load write:
Me.txtValue.Text = GetSetting(App.Name, "Settings", "MyValue_1")
