exporting registry entries to a *.reg file

[shelbym]

There is no need to generate a Reg file, your macro can save its setting rights to the Registry like so:

SaveSetting "liveFillet", "Preferences", "Radius", txtRadius.Text
SaveSetting "liveFillet", "Preferences", "DistanceB", txtDistanceB.Text
SaveSetting "liveFillet", "Preferences", "Step", txtIncValue

The settings can then be retrieved as follows:

txtRadius.Text = GetSetting("liveFillet", "Preferences", "Radius", ".05")
txtDistanceB.Text = GetSetting("liveFillet", "Preferences", "DistanceB", ".05")
txtIncValue.Text = GetSetting("liveFillet", "Preferences", "Step", ".01")

Hopefully that gets you started.

Use an INI file to distribute settings. If you screw up somebody's registry they will never touch anything you do ever again...

Correct, I'm aware of that. I'm trying to get the macro to 'export' the settings so I can distribute them to other users in my group.

I see. How would I go about doing that?

GetPrivateProfileString and WritePrivateProfileString. Look here:
