Examples

The following example first uses the SaveSetting function to make entries in the Windows registry for the MyApp application, and then uses the DeleteSetting function to remove them.

' Place some settings in the registry.
SaveSetting("MyApp", "Startup", "Top", "75")
SaveSetting("MyApp", "Startup", "Left", "50")
' Remove Startup section and all its settings from registry.
DeleteSetting("MyApp", "Startup")
' Remove MyApp from the registry.
DeleteSetting("MyApp")

Remarks

The SaveSetting function adds the key to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings.

If the key setting cannot be saved for any reason, an error occurs.

SaveSetting requires that a user be logged on since it operates under the HKEY_LOCAL_USER registry key, which is not active until a user logs on interactively.

Registry settings that are to be accessed from a non-interactive process (such as Mtx.exe) should be stored under either the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ or the HKEY_USER\DEFAULT\Software registry keys.

SaveSetting requires Write and Create RegistryPermission.
