Ok ive done alot of searching and i can't come up with anything. How do you save variables in your program. Only way i can think of is writing to the registry. Is there any other way to save variables so if someone checked a checkbox it would be checked when the program loads again or if they type something into a editbox it would load the text too? ive been reading Programming Windows, fifth edition and believe it or not in that 1479 page book, they dont' talk about loading/saving variables. Any ideas? thanks

Registry is one way or a simple text/ini file is another. I myself prefer to put only important information in the registry and use other means (database, text/ini file etc.) to store stuff that can be lost but will not hurt the running of the program. Also if I have a large amount of information to store I make the tough decision of what do I really need to keep in the registry and what I don't.
It is all a matter of personal preference and how much data.
Good Luck
