Your question might be better asked in a group dedicated to Windows
(VB) programming.
VB 6.0 has very limited Windows registry access, restricted to a small
subset of the registry that is specific to the application.
SaveSetting, GetSetting, DeleteSetting. Working around this
limitation requires Windows API calls. The book "Visual Basic
Annotated Archives" has an explanation of the process. The .Net
version of VB makes it very easy to access the registry by comparison.

I suppose if I will search in google,
I will find this thread.
I didn't find any answer, yet,
because there are several problems (ERROR_MORE_DATA ...)
long l
long ln
string value
l = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "<full_path>", 0, 1, hnd)
.... ' the above is O.K and l = 0.
ln = 0
l = RegQueryValueEx(hnd, "a_key", 0, 1, value, ln)
after the above l = 234 (ERROR_MORE_DATA) and ln got the correct size !
I will appreciate if I find the answer in this thread, please.

Too lazy to do your own work? You've been directed to a wealth of
information (google.com) and to a proper forum (one on VB/VB6) yet you
decide it's too much work to search for this information yourself or
ask elsewhere so you demand someone post an exact solution to your
particular problem here.
You're not winning any friends with this behaviour.

Well,
I have looked on google.com
(and suppose I will find this thread too :
Google is just a mask for newsgroup like this one, and keep a thread like
this one on the Google's servers).
None of the example is good enough (and doesn't work, as the example I have
sent in this thread).
Please give me a good example that works for VB 6.0.
Thanks >> Stay informed about: read from registry - vb 6.0 |

It sounds as though you might be searching google groups, not google.
That would explain why you can't find the information.
1 - Open your browser
2 - In the address bar, type: http://www.google.com/
3 - In the Google window that appears, enter "vb6 modify registry"
(without the quotes)
This will return links to thousands of web sites that discuss
accessing the registry with VB6. There will be many, many examples.
Another search that you might find helpful:
"VB6 RegOpenKeyEx"
Good Luck >> Stay informed about: read from registry - vb 6.0 |
