Re: Retrieving registry value

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

At runtime, I need to retrieve a registry value that is not located under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings, so GetSetting isn't
going to do the trick. I've found the CRegKey Class and its methods
(specifically QueryStringValue), but I'm missing the code to alias the
function in my app. Little help?

You'll either need to dig into the registry API's or use a class that wraps those for you such as the one over at
www.vbaccelerator.com
Here's some examples of using the API directly if you don't want to use the class:

Hope this helps,
