[jeroenh]

Hi there,

I'm building a program and need to loop trough the registery and I need to access the regestery with API calls. I now how the API part works, but how do I make a loop if it when I need different branches and string from the regestery.

Can anybody help me.

Using my registry module which you can download on my homepage, you can iterate trough all items ans subkeys in a key.

sub Main()
    SearchKey "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"
    SearchKey "HKEY_CURRENT_USER"        
    SearchKey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
    SearchKey "HKEY_USERS"
    SearchKey "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG"
End sub

Sub SearchKey(Key):Dim n
   For each n in subkeys(Key)'Iterate trough each subkey
      SearchKey(n)'and search it too
   Next n
   For each n in keyvalues(Key)
      'Do whatever you want, for instance adding the value to a listbox
      list1.additem Key & "\" & n
   Next n
End sub

Microsoft produced a Regobj.dll for developers exposing properties and methods to allow easy registry manipulation, you can get it at

or you can mail me for it



If anyone has used it extensively and has found it to be cr*p then lemme know...
