RegQueryValue

[Atlantisoft]

Anyone know how to use RegQueryValue? I've tried several different ways, but each time i get a number back instead of the key's value...any suggestions?

try this sample from msdn

private Sub QueryValue (sKeyName as string, sValueName as string)
Dim lRetVal as Long 'result of the API functions
Dim hKey as Long 'handle of opened key
Dim vValue as Variant 'setting of queried value

lRetVal = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sKeyName, 0, _
KEY_ALL_ACCESS, hKey)
lRetVal = QueryValueEx(hKey, sValueName, vValue)
MsgBox vValue
RegCloseKey (hKey)
End Sub
