B5008 - How can I have Authorware read the Windows registry? by - Joseph Ganci Authorware cannot
do this directly, but once again Gary Smith's wonderful collection of external
functions, called Buddy API, will let you tap right into the Windows
API. Note that Authorware comes with its own collection of shadow functions
called WinAPI, but Gary Smith's are much easier to use. I highly
recommend it. Check out http://www.mods.com.au/. The function ReadRegString
is the one you need. For instance, to find the user's name, use the following
in a Calc icon: name := baReadRegString("Network\\Logon",
"username", "Error", "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE") That should do
it. There are hundreds of userful functions there. |
