為您的應用程序加上注冊的限制是不是很好，至少現(xiàn)在的共享軟件都是這樣做的。 大家都用過Winzip這個軟件吧！當未注冊時每次啟動都會彈出個該死的對話框，只有正確的注冊后此對話框才會消失。這就是我們本次所要實現(xiàn)的目標。對于這些信息我們將其存儲在注冊表中VB6.0提供了一個函數(shù)及一條語句用于讀寫注冊表它們是GetSetting 和 SaveSetting 遺憾的是我們不能用它將鍵值 寫在注冊表的任意位置。難道就沒有別的函數(shù)了嗎？NO！有！那就是Micro$oft的Win32 API 它所提供的 函數(shù)可以讓我們隨意的讀寫注冊表的任何位置包括新建鍵值、刪除鍵值、新建項目等等……。廢話就不多 說了我們還是先來看看如何實現(xiàn)吧！

以下控件使用默認名稱請不要改變。
1、新建兩個窗體。
2、在第一個窗體(Form1)上放置兩個文本框及兩個按鈕。
3、在第二個窗體(Form2)上放置5個標簽
4、新建一個標準模塊
您現(xiàn)在可以將代碼粘貼過去運行了。
