Example

This example first uses the SaveSetting statement to make entries in the Windows registry (or .INI file on 16-bit Windows platforms) for the application specified as appname, then uses the GetAllSettings function to display the settings. Note that application names and section names cannot be retrieved with GetAllSettings. Finally, the DeleteSetting statement removes the application’s entries.

' Retrieve the settings.= GetAllSettings(appname := "MyApp", section := "Startup")
    For Settings = LBound(MySettings, 1) To UBound(MySettings, 1)
        Debug.Print MySettings(Settings, 0), MySettings(Settings, 1)
    Next Settings("MyApp", "Startup")
