I need help saving user input in VB 6.0.

Question

Is there a way to save from text boxes without writing each to a text file through a variable, and re load the info into the right boxes when the application is opened? An API etc?

Answer 1

Use a SaveSetting statement for each setting being saved:

Savesetting("MyAppName","MySection","M... "SomeSettingHere")

When loading your app (inside the Form Load event) type:

SomeSettingValue = Getsetting("MyAppName","MySection","MyKe... "DefaultValueHere")

Give some standard value to the default setting. Default values can be any string, boolean, integer, string containing a path to some database, etc

Hope this helps, Good Luck!

Answer 2

u can use SAVESETTING method in vb6.0. Try a google on it, for a details explanation. It has SAVESETTING & GETSETTING method, in order for you to save the STATE of a FORM(e.g default values).

hope this helps.
