Visual Basic

[Odie]

I'm trying to teach myself VB but are stuck on this one thing which I can't get right. I would like to change the values of keys in the registry, which not necessarily has anything to do with the application I'm writing. From what I have read one needs to make use of advapi32.dll but I'm not sure how to do it.

I declare the function in "Option Explicit" as follows:

Declare Function RegReplaceKey Lib "C:\WINDOWS\System32\advapi32.dll" Alias "RegReplaceKeyA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, ByVal lpNewFile As String, ByVal lpOldFile As String) As Long

When I use the function in the code, it does not work. :rolleyes:

Can anybody point me in the right direction please.

Polkadot you're the man. Thanks a lot, computerhope.com has a wealth of information and did the trick for me. :)

Sometimes Computerhope is way out of date (I think they still concider XP a new OS). But it is often a good place to do a search. I just did a search on "Visual Basic" and it came up with (among other things) that thread on registry values. Glad it worked for you.
