BOOL WriteProfileString( LPCTSTR lpszSection, LPCTSTR lpszEntry, LPCTSTR lpszValue );
Return Value
Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.
Parameters
lpszSection
Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the section containing the entry. If the section does not exist, it is created. The name of the section is case independent; the string may be any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.
lpszEntry
Points to a null-terminated string that contains the entry into which the value is to be written. If the entry does not exist in the specified section, it is created.
lpszValue
Points to the string to be written. If this parameter is NULL, the entry specified by the lpszEntry parameter is deleted.
Remarks
Call this member function to write the specified string into the specified section of the application’s registry or .INI file.
The entries are stored as follows:
Example
CString strSection = "My Section";
CString strStringItem = "My String Item";
CString strIntItem = "My Int Item";
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
pApp->WriteProfileString(strSection, strStringItem, "test");
CString strValue;
strValue = pApp->GetProfileString(strSection, strStringItem);
ASSERT(strValue == "test");
pApp->WriteProfileInt(strSection, strIntItem, 1234);
int nValue;
nValue = pApp->GetProfileInt(strSection, strIntItem, 0);
ASSERT(nValue == 1234);
