Visual Basic :: Function To Save/load Data From All Textboxes Into Registry With Save/GetSetting?

Registry Use - Save/Getsetting()
I have a small app, and I want the user to be able to set (save)
default settings.

I know I can achieve this by using an .ini/txt file, however I'd thought I'd give the registry a ago.

I have 8 .text (numbers) to save.
ie: 60,10,2185,2143,2045,3000,3627,0
all from the same 'form'.

I havn't accessed the registry before and I am
a little concerned.

I have searched vb2 and looked in my ref manuals, however
I can't seem to find what I want to do.

Can someone please provide an example!

Cheers,
Bruce.

How To Get Save Dialog To Load Text Data

All my books do not discuss how to load text data into a file.
the only thing covered how to load rtftext. But what if you have other kinds of data?
I am trying to use a common dialog box which is formated to use the showsave part.

Combobox: Save/GetSetting Vs Saving To File
I know that "is savesetting better than writing to INI file?" is a common question, and know the answer.
But my question is a little different: I have a combobox that is populated at runtime and I would like the program to store the data that it contains from one time to another. The ComboBox could contain several hundreds of items, so I don't want to repopulate it every time the program is run. I would like to know if I should use the savesetting/getsetting function for this or write everything to a file? Also, if I write to a file, which method should I use?
Thanks for your help and time

Treeview1 Save / Load Additional Text Data
Greetings all.

In my form that adds the node, I also have a text box for Description, weight, size, and cost. I want to be able to load / save this data as well, and wonder if it can be done without the use of a .mdb file or such. I want it to write to the same .txt file.
Now, being a complete newbie, I am thinking it may have to do with the 'Split' code, but I may be way off. I am not asking for anyone to do it for me, just some guidence or direction to an article or something. I searched MSDN, forums, and some code example and haven't found anything even close yet.

I have included my example project and gave full props to those who have helped me. Thanks to all of you that help us newbies in our time of learning!

Save To Registry Or Save To .txt Or .ini File?
Perhaps I should have posted this as a poll, but hey-ho...

Right, following on from a few points made (see thread http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showt...threadid=236942 if you are wondering where these points were made) I was wondering whether it is better to save settings such as window positions and size, and other settings specific to your application to the registry, or in a .txt or .ini file.

Personally, I have always saved all window positions and size settings (and sometimes a few other things) to the registry, and then for applications where I need a lot of settings saved I have used .txt files (provided no database is involved).

Where do you draw the line in saving information to the registry and start saving to another file? Or, do you do just one and not the other? And, are there any speed advantages in either, or is it much the same?

Thanks for any input.

How To Save The Contents Of More (RTF)textboxes In One File?
Hi,

is it possible to save the contents of more textboxes, normal and RTF, in one file?
E.g. save the contents of 2 normal textboxes and 3 RTF textboxes in one file, so this one file contains the contents of all 5 textboxes.
If this can be done, how can I retrieve the contents of the 5 textboxes separately?

Thanks in advance

How To Save Info From Multiple Textboxes...

For instance, textbox 1 has user input of "7", textbox 2 has user input "10", rtfbox 1 has user input "60 seconds". I want to format it to, "This individual has 7 balls, which he must juggle 10 times, in a period of 60 seconds." And then save the formated text as a txt file.

If someone could help me out, I'd appreaciate it.

How To Save Text From Multiple Textboxes/loading Back
Hi, I'm a total newbie because I'm mechanical engineer by profession,

I need some help:

I have :
txt1.Text
txt2.Text
.
.
.
txt9.Text

I need to save all this values into a single file (i can do this already using the CommonDialog) and then LOAD the file, read the values and reassigning/display each to its respective textboxes. ie

txt1.Text = ???
txt2.Text = ???

I don't know how to do the open/read/assign part.

Basically I'm just trying to add a 'save all input' and a 'load input from file' function in my program.

How do i do so? Simplest possible way please. Thank you.

Load/Save From/to Txt?
I'm a beginner with visual basic. i guess we could start there..

Private Sub Save1_Click()
Open (App.Path & " emp.txt") For Output As #1
variabelone = Text1.Text
Print #1, variabelone
Close #1
End Sub

These rows will save whatever text there is in "text1" to a text document called temp. Some similar rows will load whatever temp.txt containes and output that in text2.

This far no problem. I wrote this to prepare myself for the saving part in a game im programming in visual basic. The problem with this system is that, to save a game in my game, you will need at least 300 of those txt:s. And that is not an option according to me.

I know it is possible in some very easy way, but i can't find anywhere telling my how to do it:

How can i save and load information to/from a specific Row in a text document? (so i can use ONE txt-file, containing 300 rows, instead of 300 files, containing one each...)

thanks //sam

Save And Load
I have written this timesheet application, but I have run into a snag. When you first run it, it works great. I have it set up to put a msgbox up if there are not any times to calculate. Once you save it, then load it and run it, if there a no times to calculate it gives me a mismatch error. It seems to just skip the msgbox step and give me an error. Would anyone like to take a crack at this one. I am sure it is simple enough, I'm just not seeing it. I have attached the ZIP file for anyone interested. Perhaps someone can enlighten me on a better way to do it.

Thanks, Dave

Save/load
Hi all!
I wrote a piece of software and I need to insert a couple buttons that would save and load the settings. I already export all the settings to some .txt files. But what if I want to import them back and make all the checkboxes and buttons corespond to the saved settings. I have no idea on how to start on even creating the menus to save to a file and load from a file (you know, like a save and an open button in word for example). Please send me any pointers or maybe websites that have articles about this problem.
Thanks.

Save In Registry As A Name
I have been using this code from the API-Guide. I am new to API's in general.
It creates a REG_DWORD in the directory I want.
How do I name the entry, for example I would like to store the position of the form when it is closed, with Left, Top, Height, Width?

vb Code:
Dim Result As Long'Check if the specified key existsRegOpenKeyEx HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, vSubKey, 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, Ret'If the key doesn't exist, we create itIf Result = 0 Then 'Create a new key RegCreateKeyEx HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, vSubKey, 0, "REG_DWORD", REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, ByVal 0&, Result, Ret If Result = 0 Then MsgBox "Error while creating the Key!!" Exit Sub End IfEnd If

This runs and creates the entry, but when I run the app a second time, it doesn't create another entry, so I guess I have to insert a name, or text somewhere.

How To Save/load A Game
Hiya,

I did a search of the forums, but I did not find any clear information on how to write the code for saving and/or loading a game.

Basically, I'm working on a kingdom simulator that is full of different variables, such as Treasury amount, population size, taxation level, industrial population size, etc.

I'm looking for a code that would let me save the game and also let me load it from a while later on so I can continue playing from where I left off.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
