Add REG_MULTI_SZ to Registry

Tried to lookup on the old barod if this had ever been asked, but the old board didn't respond..
I'd like to add a REG_MULTI_SZ entry to a registry, but dc_regwrite() doesn't seem to handle that type of entry..
btw, this is to add a dependency on ads database server for a service, so when the machine reboots, everything comes up correctly.
I currently do this manually

I rebooted the old server, so you can try again with your search.
I discovered that it will be a monumental project to try to move that data into the new forum. Sorry.
I will see what I can do with DC_RegWrite() to handle this.
I thought that this issue came up once in the past and was resolved.

Would it be possible or easier to just export to a type of database and then be able to search it. You could download the data to search as needed.

Brian -
I modified DC_RegWrite() to support REG_MULTI_SZ, however now you must pass a 5th parameter as the
type. If this parameter is not passed, then the previously supported types will still work as before to prevent any regression. What I read about REG_MULTI_SZ is that all values are separated by a null plus a terminator null.
Download the updated _DCREG.PRG from here:
http://bb.donnay-software.com:8080/support/_dcreg.prg
Copy it to \exp19\source\dclipx directory.
Run build19.bat or build19_sl1.bat to rebuild dclipx.dll
My test program:
Code: Select all
#INCLUDE "dcdialog.CH"
FUNCTION Main()
LOCAL cString, nStatus
cString := '111' + Chr(0) + '222' + Chr(0) + '333' + Chr(0)
nStatus := DC_RegWrite(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,'Software\Cus\Test','Brian',cString, REG_MULTI_SZ )
WTF nStatus
cString := DC_RegQuery(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,'Software\Cus\Test','Brian')
WTF cString
RETURN nil
PROC appsys ; return
