Set some Button.DialogResult value for those buttons that should close the dialog and return something. :)

Please read the documentation more closely. In the link I posted previously, you'll notice several overloads of String.Split. If you bother to read the descriptions of the overloads, you'll see there's one that fits your requirements quite nicely. All I'll say is you need one overload to split the string to the end of the line, and another to split the string and only get the first 3 values (or however many you want). Again, you can find the sample code in the documentation. For future reference, the MSDN documentation is your friend. You could have figured this out on your own in 5 minutes by Googling "System.String" and looking at the functions available for the string class. If you need to know what functions are available for any .NET class, Google the fully-qualified name of the class (namespace.class) and the first couple of links will give you exactly what you need.

Hi J_E_D_I, put sep=<separator symbol> in the very first line, then it works even with a double click. Works well except with CRLF regards CBM 6502

Try this array<Byte>^ info = System::Text::Encoding::UTF8->GetBytes(value); :) Navaneeth How to use google | Ask smart questions

Thanks for the advice, it works very well and the designer page is not affected. It all needs to go into the Load event. Cheers

One should always wear safety glasses when using hazardous equipment, such as Windows PCs. :laugh: :laugh: Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get - use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets

One could go totally overkill and implement an IFormatProvider/ICustomFormatter that automatically trims the string (using Convert.ToString(Intxx, IFormatProvider)). :laugh: Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

Hi, many many thanks for the advice but not being familiar to oject programming I am missing some crucial bits to make it work. In MultipleInstance.h what name should I give to: #ifndef #define Is there anything else I need to specify? In MultipleInstance.cpp I have specified: #include <iostream> #include "MultipleInstance.h" Is anything else needed? In the main cpp file: What is the correct syntax I need to use to call the object? Should I insert it immediately after int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]){

:-D :-D Wonderful, it works! I'm very grateful for your help. Send me a picture...and I'll make you a statue! How silly, I made a typing mistake writing hKey rather than MyKey in RegOpenKeyEx().
