Welcome to the third part!<\/p>\n
In the previous part, part 2, we’ve learned how to write stuff to the registry. In this part you’ll learn how to read from it.<\/p>\n
Again, we’ll need to import the correct namespace and define our variable oRegKey:<\/p>\n After that we need to point our regkey in the direction of our settings:<\/p>\n Note that I left the “True” out, we’re only reading stuff in this part anyway.<\/p>\n Once we’ve done that, we are going to fetch our settings:<\/p>\n There you go! You now have your settings that you previously stored in the Registry back in your application for further use!<\/p>\n
