 Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 1:15 pm Post subject: Registry - I give up, please help me. - FIXEDDDDDD!!! |
 |
|
Edit fixed: | Code: | Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim r As String
r = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\TestKey", "CheckBox Values", Nothing)
CheckBox1.Checked = r
End Sub |
So i've spent around 5 hours trying to code around with the registry. I basically give up. Please don't tell me "just google it, its on google", because i've been googling for the past 5 hrs, and have seen basically everything on the Registry and .Net. I am going to post all that I have here, and hope that someone has the answer, because I've been doing way to much work, and I've tried everything I can.
I've made just 1 form with a CheckBox and a Button on it.
Every time a user "checks" the CheckBox, it updates the registry:
| Code: | | My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\TestKey", "CheckBox Values", CheckBox1.Checked) |
In the button, it tells me the state of the Checkbox using MsgBox:
| Code: | Dim r As String
r = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\TestKey", "CheckBox Values", Nothing)
If r = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\TestKey", "CheckBox Values", True) Then
MsgBox("CheckBox is checked")
ElseIf r = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\TestKey", "CheckBox Values", False) Then
MsgBox("CheckBox is not checked")
End If
End Sub |
Registry pic: Now says "True/False" instead of that data line.

Set the value of the CheckState instead of the CheckBox?
Like instead of "CheckBox1" do "CheckBox1.Checked" or w/e the thing is.

REG_SZ is a string entry, not a simple yes/no thing in most cases. Such as yours, your entire string inside that entry would need to be compared, not just the first part. Instead of making it a long ass entry like that, just make the name something more forward to that checkbox and use a REG_DWORD entry for the value.
You should really name your controls based on what they are for for this reason.
CheckBox1 for example is misleading and unhelpful to you later down the road if you pick the project back up. You might not remember what the checkbox was for and deal with having to completely relearn your own project. Instead you can do things like:
chkHealthHack
chkAutoattack
And so on (just examples) to better keep track of things. Then you could even in the registry name the entries the control names to make it easier to understand and such.

Form load:
| Code: | Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim r As String
r = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\TestKey", "CheckBox Values", Nothing)
CheckBox1.Checked = r
End Sub |
