What exactly do you need to do??

I'm using API calls to read registry keys and it works fine for me. That's as far as I got cause that's all I needed

There is a code snippet of the Procedure to read registry keys on the PB Resources Site.

I need to READ and WRITE registry items. The problem I am having with Mr Skunk's registry library is that it will not write the contents of variables, only literals and I know it used to work on a previous version of PB (arrrghghg).

This works:
WriteRegString("Program Title", "iFinder Pro")

This doesn't:
MyVar$ = "iFinder Pro"
WriteRegString("Program Title", MyVar$)

But I need the variable passing!!!

Hmmm.... thats the same.
The pointer to the variable is pushed on
the stack.... so it should work.

Did you try:

Code: Select all

MyVar.s = "iFinder Pro"
WriteRegString("Program Title", MyVar.s)

??

Just tried it, no luck whatsoever. Frustrated as hell.

If the problem arises the second time you use the function, the error must be that the function doesn't update the PureBasic string pointer correctly. Sorry if this doesn't help you, I hope Mr. Skunk reads this.

Have a nice day,

Updating the PB string pointer is only needed
if you return a string.
I think ´WriteRegString("Program Title", MyVar$)´
doesnt return a string.

Anyway it should have a little mistake in the Mr Skunk code... Too bad, its lib is nice...

True, Danilo, but maybe other functions of the library called before that one have that mistake, and mess the following created strings (well, I don't know XD).
