Who Do I Save CheckMark Settings Of A Popup Menu To The Registry?

You're probably trying to save actual booleans. An alternative would be to save either integers or strings and decode them yourself.

i.e.

In your OnClick method for your menu items call a further routine that encapsulates the following

IF PicturesAndText1.Checked
THEN
  {Output '1' to the registry entry}
ELSE
  {Output '0' to the registry entry}

IF Text1.Checked
THEN
  {Output '1' to the registry entry}
ELSE
  {Output '0' to the registry entry}

Then when you do the read back from the registry (when you launch your application) just do the following(ish) in your form's OnCreate method:

PicturesAndText1.Checked := {Read entry} = 1;
Text1.Checked := {Read entry} = 1;

It might not be the best solution in the world but it should work

Sorry to do this Neil, but I'd recommend using an INI file to do what you suggested.  That way, it'll work on all platforms.  (Might not be able to write to registry if it's a low-level user using NT)

Eh?

Jaymol,

No problem with that at all. I only kept with the Registry approach as Hyperion66 specifically mentioned it. Personally I'd always go for the INI file approach myself and this is the approach I use with them when dealing with booleans

DOH!!!!  Even though the question specifically asked for registry help!!!

Have a look at this....

function ReadRegString(rHKey: HKey; rKey, rName: String): String;
var
  WinReg : TRegistry;
begin
  WinReg:=TRegistry.Create;
  WinReg.RootKey:=rHKey;
  WinReg.OpenKey(rKey, False);
  Result:=WinReg.ReadString(rName);
  WinReg.Free;
end;

procedure WriteRegString(rHKey: HKey; rKey, rName, rValue: String);
var
  WinReg : TRegistry;
begin
  WinReg:=TRegistry.Create;
  WinReg.RootKey:=rHKey;
  WinReg.OpenKey(rKey, False);
  WinReg.WriteString(rName, rValue);
  WinReg.Free;
end;

Those 2 bits of code make it a tad easier to read/write the reg entries.

John.

Sorry.....I posted that last bit of stuff after you posted the last bit you did, but only saw it after the bit I did was posted now!  (D'you get me?)

John.

Err, are you on drugs? Can I have some?

The Neil

Neil,

Ha, I wish!

John.

John

About which bit? The bit about you being on drugs or the bit about me having some?

The Neil

He's not gonna take this as an answer is he?  He's just used us for our knowledge - I feel violated! :(

John.

Would you in all honestly give good points for a load of questions about suspected drug usage/availability? (Naturally you'd head for the 'Crack Head' section for such things)

Hi TheNeil,

 Could you please so me an example or demo explaining how to accomplish this task. I have tried but I cannot get it to work.

 Thank's Hyperion66

Thank's TheNeil.
