Re: How to write or edit multi-part string in the windows registry
It isn't possible with RegistryWriteKey so I consulted Marcus and he came up with this for you :
Code: Select all
VBSTART
Const HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = &H80000000
Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Const HKEY_USERS = &H80000003
Const HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG = &H80000005
Sub WriteMultiSz(rootKeyStr, strKeyPath, strValueName, listStr)
Select case rootKeyStr
Case "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"
rootKey = HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Case "HKEY_CURRENT_USER"
rootKey = HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Case "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
rootKey = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Case "HKEY_USERS"
rootKey = HKEY_USERS
Case "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG"
rootKey = HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
End Select
strComputer = "."
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
arrStringValues = Split(listStr, vbCRLF)
oReg.SetMultiStringValue rootKey,strKeyPath,strValueName,arrStringValues
End Sub
VBEND
//Create a CRLF delimited list of strings
Let>list=first%CRLF%second%CRLF%third
//Write it like this:
VBRun>WriteMultiSz,HKEY_CURRENT_USER,SOFTWARE\MJTNET\MSched15,TestValue2,list

Hi Dorian,
thx for you reply and the assistance of Marcus. I was not notified about your reply, so sorry for the delay in my answer.
Seems that will be exactly what I need. I will give you feedback as soon I tested the approach.

Hi together,
it works well when writing to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. When writing to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE it does not work.
I was logged in with local adminrights and even the compiled version executed as administrator does not make any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
