Checkbox Registry Value Please Help

[Shadows]

well after searching this forum, I tryed implementing some registry values for my programs, I ahve a problem tho, on form loads, it always ticks check1 box one when the registry's be saved as not ticked, please have a look

Saved to registry when prog closed

If Check1.Value = vbChecked Then
    
        SaveSetting App.EXEName, "Preferences", "Ontop", "vbChecked"
    
    End If

Form Load, get setting

If Check1.Value = GetSetting(App.EXEName, "Preferences", Ontop, "vbChecked") Then
    Check1.Value = vbChecked
End If

if i close the program and have the checkbox unticked and re open it, it still gives the checkbox a tick, btw, its for a option in my prog to have the form always on top, I bet you guys will crack at it in seconds but im lost

Save it as True or False rather than "vbChecked".

save the value directly:

Like David said...

SaveSetting App.EXEName, "Preferences", "Ontop", Check1.Value


Check1.Value = GetSetting( etc....

If the checkbox in unchecked, you don't save any value to the registry, so the old value will still be there. You need to add an Else in you If statements.

Oops - sorry - save it as 0,1,or2

CheckBox control — 0 is Unchecked (default), 1 is Checked, and 2 is Grayed (dimmed).

Save

SaveSetting App.EXEName, "Preferences", "Ontop", Check1.Value

Retrieve (form load)

Check1.Value = GetSetting(App.EXEName, "Preferences", "Ontop", "vbChecked"
