Is this a bug or what am I doing wrong ?, Tryed to use @regread() on a registry key with a data type REG_MULTI_SZ, will return nothing at all. On Win-2000 the same read workes just fine.
It seems to be a problem with VDS 4.50 ,XP and this new registry data type, although ordinary type REG_SZ workes fine on XP

Any update on this? I am also just now running into a brick wall with this registry data type. Is there a DLL that will allow access to REG_MULTI_SZ registry keys?

I'm using XP Pro with SP1 and this code works perfectly. It gets the directory where you last downloaded a file:

Yes, that code does work fine because the key you're reading is a REG_SZ data type. The problem is REG_MULTI_SZ data types. Try this one...

Aaa yeah I see.
Shouldn't there be an option to specify which data type you want to retrieve?

I know some languages you have to specify wether it's a REG_SZ value or whatever.

But hey, what do I know. I just started using VDS two-three days ago. But I'm loving it so far Wink

I know that the VDSREG.DLL in Tommy's VDSDLL 3 package allows you to specify data type for some operations but not for reg_multi_sz keys. I was just hoping that something new had developed since this thread had been hashed... oh, well! Here's hoping that *cough* *cough* will have that capability. Very Happy

And welcome to the VDS community GeoTrail... I've been using VDS since 1997 and I can say it's still the easiest language I know of.

OK... is there anyone who knows *and can tell me* if VDS 5 supports the REG_MULTI_SZ registry data type Question

<whisper>please say yes, please say yes...</whisper>

This is holding up several programs I have in the works and I would love to know if I can plan on completing them soon.

Seems to work just fine with 5, but I'm on Win XP Home.
