Re: registry functions1

here's the function declaration that you need :

Public Declare Function RegRestoreKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegRestoreKeyA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Note:

• To deal with win32API in visual basic, just fire up VB6 API viewer. If it's not available yet, you can activate it from Add-Ins|Add-In manager menu by selecting the VB 6 API Viewer and then checking the "Load Behaviour" section as needed. Then you need to load the API declarations from within the API Viewer by using the File|Load Text File and selecting the win32API text file. The rest is pretty much intuitive.
• After declaring the function above in the beginning of the module, you can call the corresponding function anywhre inside the module.
• Always keep in your mind that the VB6 API viewer is your companion when dealing with win32API directly in VB.
