Hello,

the Function:

GetRegistryString(path, key)

delivers from key's with type REG_MULTI_SZ only the first row back. How can I get the complete key?

Thanks

Marcus

Hello,

no ideas? A statement/opinion that is impossible will be also helpful.

Thanks

Hi Marcus,

I haven't managed to do this through the GetRegistryString function, but you can read via vbscript in a macro ...

Sub GetMultiValueKey

Dim objRegistry, Key

Set objRegistry = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")

Key = objRegistry.RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Secondary Start Pages")

MsgBox Key(1)

End Sub

This appears to place all values into an array, so the first value will be key(0), then key(1) etc.. If number of values is unknown to you, you will need to loop through from 0 to UBound(Key) to retrieve each value.
