Im trying to read the key "wireless" and the value is:
CSCFlags=0
MaxUses=4294967295
Path=C:Documents and SettingsmeDesktopNew Folder
Permissions=0
Remark=

Registry Multi-string Only In XP?
I understand that the multi-string data type is only available in XP?
So what happens if I create an application that writes a multi-string and someone runs it on pre XP? Will it error out or will it just stuff it into a regular string data type?
Any info would be appreciated.
Read And Writing New Line To Multiline Registry String
I've been a bit confused with some of the registry examples I've seen so far...
Theres a registry string that may or may not exist. If it doesn't I want to add it. I need to check this string and if it does exist I need to write a new line without overwriting the previous data.
How can I achieve this?
Sorry if the question is vague.
Thanks
Read Values From Multi-dimensional Array
I am reading registry values, which are returned in a multi-dimensional array.
I can debug.print to see the values just fine, but what I would like to do is add these values to a comma delimited string.
Any ideas how I can do this?
Here's the code
VB Code:
If Len(mstrSystem) <> 0 Then strRegSettings = GetAllSettings(mstrSystem, "Options") For i = LBound(strRegSettings, 1) To UBound(strRegSettings, 1) Debug.Print strSettings(i, 0), strSettings(i, 1) Next iEnd If
How To Add, Read And Redim A Multi Dimensional Array
Hi,
I have a multi dimensional array with 4 columns.
I am reading a XML file. I need to keep adding into the array whenever a new value is encoutered.
Column1 is code.
Column2 is title
Column3 is Description
Column4 would be the number times the same code has come across in the xml file.
Right now what I am doing is Dim array()
redim array(4,0)
read the xml file
for j=0 to objCodes.length-1
set objChild= objCodes.item(j).childnodes
Code = objChild(0).getattribute("code")
Title =objChild(1).getattribute("title")
Desc=objChild(2).getattribute ("Desc")
for i=0 to UBound(array)
if array(i,0)=Code then
array(i,3)=array(i,3)+ 1
else
redim Preserve array(UBound(array)+1)
array(i,0)=Code
array(i,1)=title
array(i,2)=Desc
array(i,3)="1"
end if
next i
next j
But am not able to redim my multi dimensional array. It is always 0 only.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cant Read The Registry
I am using a module by KayJay that I found in the codebank. Which I've attached
Although I seriously doubt the fault is in there.
I'm trying to access a certain key in the registry. and save to it works using this:
VB Code:
Call SaveSettingString(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "User Agent", cmbUA.Text)
But I have trouble when reading the key using this:
VB Code:
MsgBox GetSettingString(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "User Agent")
it just return a blank string
Why is this happening? Why don't I get what has been saved?
Read Registry
I want to read all keys from some folders in the registry. The problem is that the folder names are random. I don't know their number...
the path is: HKLMsoftwareICSU<random string>. ex:
HKLMsoftwareICSUfsdfs56-fsdfs5d666-555555
HKLMsoftwareICSUfsd543-321323566-gdfgdfg
in this folder there is a string called SN. I need to get the value of SN. I know how to read the value... I just don't know how to go to HKLMsoftwareICSU and read all the folders below it(fsdfs56-fsdfs5d666-555555 and fsd543-321323566-gdfgdfg).
I have a similar solution to read files under a folder in the file system... The idea is the same, but the code is not!
strFileName = Dir$("c:myFilesFolder")
While strFileName <> ""
FileName = "c:myFilesFolder" & strFileName
strFileName = Dir$()

Read Registry
Hi all,
VB has a function GetAllSettings(appname, section), which return a variant contains all registry key in a section under HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareVB and VBA...
I want to WRITE a similar function, say:
Code:
GetAllSettingX(hKey As Long, strPath As String) as Variant
To use this function:
Code:
myvariant = GetAllSettingX(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"Software")
I think you may come across this already. If not you may need it some day. This will hide this user from knowing that your application is written in VB.
CAN YOU HELP?

Can't Read Registry?!
I have a VB application that stores registration information in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, and everything works just fine *most* all the time. However, once in a while a user will find that the registration information isn't available. The information *is* still in the registry, but the API call to read it fails. The behavior is inconsistent: most users don't ever encounter a problem, but the ones that do hit it only find it happening to them maybe 1 in 20 times, so far on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
I'm using RegOpenKeyExA to open the appropriate key, and RegQueryValueExA to get the information.
Here's some of the code:
lDataTypeValue=REG_SZ
Value$=Space$(2048)
StrSize=len(Value$)
lRetVal=RegOpenKeyExA(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"SoftwareMcKernonRegInfo",0&,KEY_QUERY_VALUE,GroupHandle&)
IF lRetVal=ERROR_NONE THEN
lRetVal=RegQueryValueExA(GroupHandle,"SerNum",0&,lDataTypeValue,Value$,strSize)
END IF
Because I can't duplicate the problem on any of my systems here, I'm not sure exactly where it's failing -- on the OpenKey, on the RegQueryValue, or because the strSize is coming back = 0.
Has anybody else run into anything like this? I'm frankly baffled, especially by the erratic nature of the problem.
TIA -

Read Values From Registry
Hello,
I have this application which adds and removes values in the Registry under the path (I don't think it matters but here it is, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARETEST). When the application starts I want to load the already made values in the Registry under this path and not make them again from the beginning. And I would like this to work dynamically of course. I guess this is a simple one but I can not seem to figure it out as it is my first experience with Registry manipulating.
Thanxs in advance,

Dim chave As String
Dim x As Variant
chave = "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerPageSetupheader"
chaveRoot = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER"

x = AcessoReg.GetKeyValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, ChaveNome, "")
MsgBox x

Obviously an error is going to occur when the value doesnt
