Read and Write Registry from MapBasic

[Zery]

Happy holliday all,

It's not a holliday for me, we still have to acomplished our yearly planted target. There's no Sunday here now, well it's another story.

I'm planning to extract a value from a key in windows registry, and sometimes maybe to insert a key and it value. Can someone guide me how to get to it?

TIA
Regards,
Zery

And even some using MapBasic:

So I've looked to the source, and try a little bit. I have attached a sample of my code, the problem I'm getting is it GetMRUPath() functions returns an empty string. Where did it go wrong?

Simple typo Zery. Seems not having a Sunday off is not a good thing.

Your read path iReturn reads "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explorer\ComDlg2\OpenSaveMRU\wor"

Should read "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU\wor" (NOTE ComDlg32 not ComDlg2)

Worked for me straight after that.
