Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub WriteToRegistry( _ ByVal userSpecific As Boolean, _ ByVal key As String, _ ByVal valueName As String, _ ByVal value As Variant, _ ByVal valueType As String _ )

Parameters

userSpecific

True to use current user registry hive (HKCU), false to use local computer registry hive (HKLM).

key

The registry key part after the M-Files version specific part. E.g. "Client\Common" would point to the full registry key <HKEY>\Software\Motive\M-Files\<version>\Client\Common.

valueName

The value name. Empty string indicates the default value of the key.

value

The registry value to write.

valueType

The type of the registry value as string. Supported types:

REG_SZ: String type.
REG_DWORD: 32-bit unsigned number type.

Remarks

This method affects values and keys under the registry key of current M-Files version.

Note for 32-bit processes on 64-bit operating system: M-Files registry access is always pointed to the native registry, so the 32-bit processes will use the same registry with 64-bit processes.

Supported in M-Files 10.1.3915.45 and newer.
