Re: How to access registry?

Fred Thank you very much...

i would like to know also the equevalent of VB6's GetSetting and VFP6's GetRegKey

GetSetting Syntax:
GetSetting(appname, section, key[, default])

GetRegKey
GetRegKey(cOptName, cOptVal, cKeyPath, nUserKey)

You'll also need a SET CLASSLIB TO registry.vcx or you can use NEWOBJECT() instead.

#include registry.h
oReg = CREATEOBJECT("registry")
cValue = ""
?oReg.GetRegKey("AppName",@cValue,"Software\VB and VBA Program Settings",;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER)
?cValue

If the call returns a 0, you've got your key value in cValue.

i found the REGISTRY class library, thank you for the info Mr. Fred.

just a quick question, i have a vb6 simple program that executes
SaveSetting "AppName", "Section", "Key", Setting
and it saves a registry entries to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings

do you have a sample vfp6 code on how can i access/read or like vb6's GetSetting from the specified registry key entries?

thank you.

There is no task pane in VFP6, Stefan. That didn't come until VFP8, I'm not quite sure which version.

Take a look for the REGISTRY class library in the FFC folder under your VFP6 installation. There's a registry class in it that should have all the methods you need for accessing the registry.
