How to store a double in the registry

[n2jesus]

OK, I know this might be simple, but I can't figure it out. I need to store a double like 1.03 in the registry. It will populate a textbox on startup, and will save to the registry on exit.

I've tried writing it as a string which works, but when I try to read it back in, I get a blank string.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You could save the double as a string with Convert.toString (double) and store it in the registry. When you pull the string back out from the registry use Convert.toDbouble (string) to turn the string back into a double.

Yeah, that's what I was doing. I finally got it working. For some reason when the program loads, half way through loading info from the registry, it jumps to saving info to the registry. I moved the parameters I was working with to above that jump point in the code, and all works fine.

Still not sure why it jumps though.

Thanks for you input.
