I went through all the codes and sites.... BUt its all WIN32 CONSOLE application... what i want is MFC Application... The other programs i got is MFC Application.........but... It just reads an INI file...thats already created... Im using Visual Studio 2003..... Visual Studio 2008 supports CIniFile.... but the lower versions dont.... so is there any direct....or easy way to READ/WRITE INI file... Other than using the CIniFile code availabe in this forum????

For your kind of application, the registry shouldn't be used. :)

Reading and writing to a
INIfile it is very simple. You can easily make a 'test'INIfile, using, for instance thenotepad, and then write to (or read from) programmatically. Check out one of the articles I linked in one of my previous replies to see (in the source files) some sample code. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

[My articles]Why cant i use registry???? can u tell me please.... im quite IGNORANT abt all these

Well, you actually can, but you definitely shouldn't. The registry should be used for maintainig application settings (i.e. few data), not as application general data storage (i.e. big amount of data). :)

[My articles]Yes i did check all those links.... thanks..it was helpful... but it all tells abt WIN32 CONSOLE Application... whereas i need.... MFC Application

You must redirect the CWinApp application data storage from the registry to your ini file. See the MSDN documentation on CWinApp::m_pszRegistryKey and CWinApp::m_pszProfileName. By freeing m_pszRegistryKey and setting m_pszProfileName to an appropiate path you will be able to use CWinApp::GetProfileString CWinApp::GetProfileInt CWinApp::WriteProfileInt CWinApp::WriteProfileString on an ini file instead of the registry. When I switched my application to use an .ini file, this took me a while to find out. However, it's not likely we are the first people to face this issue ... there must be an example somewhere. :~

[My articles]Ok ..thank u

For the purpose of read/write to a INI file, the fact it is negligible. BTW are you able to code a very simple
MFCapplication? :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

Then shouldn't be difficult for you to have a look at the (console) article and adapt the code to the
MFCapplication. Good luck. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
