Adding a register key to the Windows register - SOLVED

[driessen]

Hello,

I need this register key :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Security]
"DisableWarningOnIncludeFieldsUpdate"=dword:00000001

How can I check in my application if this key already exists?
And in case it doesn't exist, how can I add it in my application?

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Dear Michel,

Please try this and let me know what you get:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#define  HKEY_CURRENT_USER       2147483649  

   local nHandle, nValue

   if RegOpenKey( HKEY_CURRENT_USER,;
         "Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Security", @nHandle ) == 0
      RegQueryValue( nHandle, "DisableWarningOnIncludeFieldsUpdate", @nValue )
      MsgInfo( nValue, ValType( nValue ) )
      RegCloseKey( nHandle )
   endif

Antonio,
Thank you for your message.
Unfortunately, the register key is not added.

Dear Michel,

what is shown from the MsgInfo() ?

[driessen]

Only a backslash

Dear Michel,

Please use Microsoft regedit.exe and try to locate it manually

hi,

Unfortunately, the register key is not added.

have you start it "as Admin"

Antonio,

To find the registry key manually is no problem.

Jimmy,

I am administrator.

Dear Michel,

Do you have the entry "DisableWarningOnIncludeFieldsUpdate" already created ?

[driessen]

Antonio,

I have created the key manually. That is no problem.

But I want my application to add the key automatically so that it is installed on all PC’s on which my applications are used.

This key is necessary to prevent a mastbos is shown in Word everytime a document is used that has been mailed to my customer. My customers use hundredthousands documents, so by this key a click is avoided everytime a document is opened.

Hello Michel,

Maybe you have to grant the user admin rights when setting this key.

I want to remind you that you need to set this key for every user.

Best regards,
Otto

Alerchster,

Thank you so much for your help. It works fantastic now.

One more little question.

Can you tell me how to delete a registry key?

Thank you very much.
