Read and write from / to windows registry

[ISITEC_RIEPER]

How do I write and read values from windows registry ? (F.e. looking for the
path of a capi.dll or App Paths for my own applications ?

Thanks for any help

If you are using the latest version of CVI (5.5), then there are functions in the Programmer's Toolbox (cvi\toolslib\toolbox\toolbox.fp) for reading and writing to the registry. If you aren't using CVI 5.5, you will have to use Windows SDK functions.

In windows SDK that ships with CVI there is a complete chapter about the registry (Win32/Overviews/System Services/Registry). In it there is an exhaustive discussion about reading a writing to it and an example ('Using the registry' item) the you can use as a starting point for you to study.
In winerror.h you will fine a listing of errors reported by functions: search in it with 'registry'.

Of course if you're only using 5.0, you're gonna want this. Have a nice day.

very good thanks...the best answer I have seen yet.

I do not want to read 200 pages of a document to get an answer..

I downloaed the wintools and tried it in cvi 6 and it worked great.

thanks again..
