Writing to registry

[elziko]

I want to write a key to the registry. I can do this (using a function I've found that some else wrote that utilizes the API) however I need to be able to give the keys that I create a "(Default)" value.

How would I go about this?

Thanks

elziko,

Use this line of code . . .


lngRetCode = RegSetValueEx(lngKeyHandle, "", 0, REG_SZ, ByVal strReplacementString, lngBufferLength)


You will need a handle to the key that you are writing to (lngKeyHandle). The second parameter is the name of the key that you are writing . . . by using a null string ("&quot the data is placed in the default value. This line od code uses REG_SZ, o it is writing a string, but you can write any data type here. strReplacementString is the data that will be written into the key and lngBufferLength is the length of the data . . . hope this helps - Jeff Marler

elziko -

Check out faq222-92 in this forum. Mike Lacey has put all the API function definitions and constants that you'll need in it.
