Nov 24, 2009

I have run into a brick wall here with trying to figure this out what I have is a button that when clicked on opens up the windows control panel. and then options can be set and you then close the control panel.

then there is two radio buttons one says enabled and one says disabled what they do is check the registry after the button has been clicked on and depending on if the registry is set for 0 or 2 0 for disabled 2 for enabled...

I've tried various ways but I cannot get the radio buttons to check properly

When you open the program by clicking on the .exe it works file.When I call it from the app, I have issues with the program after it opens.

File I/O And Registry :: Email Accounts Stored In Registry

Jul 14, 2011

Currently, I am try to get the email addresses that have been saved or stored by the user of the computer. This isn't the emails that the user has sent or received, or the contacts he/she has in his address book. Just simply the email accounts that have been accessed from the computer.I know that there are some locations stored in the registry that have the email account. The email addresses that are used on the current computer. I just can't seem to find them on my computer.I am not sure if the registry is the only place to find it or if it stored on the web browser such as internet explorer or google chrome.

File I/O And Registry :: Reading Multiple Keys From The Registry?

Aug 27, 2008

I am writing an application that connects to a specific com port. This com port can change depending on how many physical ports are on the PC, and if other USB devices have installed com ports before this one.

I have the communication to the com port all working great, but I need to get the com port description not just the "COM#" which is all I currently get.

I found in the registry where the description is stored but am having trouble doing what I need.

In this key:

Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlClass{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

there is a varied number of sub keys. The are numbered 0000-NNNN depending on how many ports you have. Inside each of these keys, there are multiple values, although I am only interested in one or 2 of them.

My problem is, that I do not know how to get a list of the subkeys (the 0000-NNNN keys/folders) from the original key I posted. I have looked through a few registry tutorials, and I can view the default value in the listed key, but I could not find how to list the subkeys of the listed key.

Does anyone have any sample code they could share that shows how I can get a listing of subkeys, and then run through those subkeys checking for a specific value in one of the strings contained in the subkey?

I am using VB.net 2008 and Windows XP.

VS 2008 : Delete A Registry Key?

Dec 29, 2009

i made this Reg key with this code.

Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareapp", "Sample", "001010101")

VS 2008 Add A .reg File To The Registry

Jan 23, 2010

I've got a .reg file and I want to add it to the registry when the user clicks a button. I've been searching the forums and I've seen allot of ways to do it without the .reg file, instead taking the values and putting them in the correct syntax, but I already have the .reg file and it would take far too much effort to place all the values in the correct syntax (The amount of values is huge). What is the code to do this? Do I have to somehow add the .reg file to the project?

VS 2008 Getting Handle For Registry Key?

May 11, 2009

I have a section of code that will compile perfectly using VB Studio 2003, but it throws a InvalidCast Exception under VB 2005/2008. The code throws an Invalid Cast exception at KeyHandle = e(field.GetValue(KeyToMonitor) line below, and as far as I can tell it is because the variable Field is passing the string Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeRegistryHandle rather than an integer. Is this because of safe keys in VB 2005 and 2008?

how to call the handle of the registry key opened in a way compatible with Safe Keys? I'm using the code to notify when a registry key is changed using RegNotifyChangeKeyValue.

Private Function WaitForChange() As Boolean
Dim notifyEvent As New Threading.AutoResetEvent(False)
Dim KeyHandle As IntPtr

VS 2008 Getting Subkeys From The Registry?

Dec 31, 2010

VB.NET Private gpo_office_hklm As String = "SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftOffice12.0OutlookSecurity"
Private gpo_winupdate_hklm As String = "SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU"
Private gpo_activedesktop_hklm As String = "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesActiveDesktop"
Private gpo_explorer_hklm As String = "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer"
Private gpo_system_hklm As String = "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem"
Private Sub EnumerateKeysHKLM(ByVal lvw As ListView)

[Code]...

Normally, that exception is thrown when an object's value is Nothing. However, I've been through each subkey manually and everyone has a name. The only one I could think of that doesn't, are the (Default) keys.

The issue is that I can't seem to figure out how to loop through the subkeys and check if they're nothing. If I create a loop and call ".GetSubKeyNames() to check if they're Nothing, I still get the exception because it attempts to get the names before I can even check them.
