How do you add entries to the registry using vb6?

Answer 1

VB6 has some basic registry commands built in. These only affect the current user (They use the HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree), but are more than enough for storing settings, etc.

To get a setting from the registry :

sVar = GetSetting("AppName", "Section, "Key", ["Default Value"])

To save a setting to the registry :

SaveSetting "AppName", "Section", "Key", sVar

These will create a new string registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\AppName\Section\Key with sVar as it's value.

If you want any more 'proper' registry access, you need to use the Windows API. There are some good code samples & drop in modules at DevX if you need them.
