Application Features

Easy interface to System Registry.
Light-weight COM object.

Description

Light-weight and fast COM component for Visual Basic 6 and ASP developers.
Gives you access to the Windows System Registry API.

You get access to the Registry through 4 objects: RegNode, RegValue and the 2 collections RegNodes and RegValues.
Only two data types are supported. Integers (32 bit) and strings. The expandable data string (REG_EXPAND_SZ) can be read, but if you write it back to the Registry it will be written as a regular string! Binary data is not supported.

The following sample shows how to use the objects:

Dim node As New RegNode
Dim value As RegValue

    Call node.Set(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "SOFTWARE\Baan\Configuration")
    Set value = node.Values("MediaPath")
    Debug.Print value.Name & ": " & value.Value
    Set value = Nothing
    Set node = Nothing

The component comes with full documentation.
