The short answer is you can't! The long answer is to write your own MsgBox function. RageInTheMachine9532

Simon Yes it still happens with Rebuild Solution - note its one of these intermittent problems, sometimes happens sometimes doesn't. I've just got into the habit of doing a build before a run - but its still very irritating. Regards Jeremy

Thanks for looking Rage, I can only assume you too are flummoxed! I'm probably going to have to fall back on the security template method, assuming i can get 'secedit /export' to work so that I incorporate any previous security rights in the newly modified ones.

Sorry, I posted that in C#. Here is VB: Randomize (Timer) Dim number1, number2, sum As Integer number1 = (Rnd() * 49) + 1 number2 = (Rnd() * 49) + 1 sum = number1 + number

Put in a KeyPress handler for the edit control, and add the following code: if (KeyAscii) = 13 then ' Enter Key SendKeys "{TAB}" Endif This will trap the Enter key, and send a "Tab" to the form. Need to ensure that next control in the tab order is the next control youwant to go to.... Just out of interest - are you sure this is what you want to do? Not really standard windows behaviour, and precludes the use of enter as OK... "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......" Christian Graus At The Soapbox

COuld try Textpad - excellent editor, and Shareware - will pop up with licence warnings every now and then, but otherwise exactly same as full version.... Just one question - why the FUNK do you want to use a text editor for VB???? Otherwise - if what you are asking is HOW to launch the editor, declare the ShellExecute function, and pass the filename in....(see MSDN or give me a shout if you want an example.

I would like to use the same methods that Regedit uses. It looks like RegEdit has its own enumerator built in. There is no function in the .NET framework that does the exact samething, so it looks like your going to have to write your own exporter. wobblervb wrote: How do I determin the data type of a registry key. I understand how to read the value name and value but not the data type. The .NET framework doesn't offer a function to do what your want. Your probably going to have to write a C++ component to return that info. RageInTheMachine9532

There is an example of this very topic on the samples for VB.NET: Private Sub DoesKeyExist Dim regVersion As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey regVersion = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\TestApp\\1.0", True) If regVersion Is Nothing Then regVersion = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\TestApp\\1.0") End If End Sub This will check to see if a key exists, then if not, creates it. Oh yeah! It also needs a reference to the Win32 namespace. RageInTheMachine9532

Whoops regionPath is actually the variable Path of the type GraphicsPath... Sorry! ;) Keep experimenting! - Johannes Hansen

Good gumba gumba! The whole SDK will take over 10 hours to download on my 56K! I'll spring 10 bucks for the CD by mail. Thanks for the insight! :-D
