Quick Question

[ptcruiser]

Is it possible to save the text in a text box so that you can exit the program, then enter back in and have the saved text in the text box?
Ex: I type hello in a text box, can I save it so that I can exit- come back and find hello in the text box?

If so, please tell me how

Thank you for your help.


*What does this save setting mean, and how do I use it?
Please give me an example using default names, and please tell me what each is. ()

For example: what's "Myapp" is that the project name?
or what is the "startup"? What does each one mean??

If you want to save a small amount of data, look up the SaveSetting and GetSetting functions which access the computer's registry. Other ways to save data are through databases and text or ini files.

You can use the registry to store the textbox value

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)

SaveSetting "MyApp", "Startup", "Value", Text1.Text

End Sub


Private Sub Form_Load()

text1.Text = GetSetting("MyApp", "Startup", "Value")

End Sub
