Title: Need help with syntax - firefly 2.0
Post by: Patrick Harvey on April 28, 2005, 07:38:21 PM

Can someone please tell me why I get an error 516 when I compile this (inside a button click function)....

Dim a As Dword
Let a=FF_GetRegistryDWord %hkey_current_user, "Control Panel\Desktop", "foregroundlocktimeout", 11

I have been trying for a week to read this registry value and cannot get this to work.

Thanks

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I emailed you a couple of days about this with the suggestion to wrap the function in parenthesis. Try this:

Code Select


a=FF_GetRegistryDWord( %hkey_current_user, "Control Panel\Desktop", "foregroundlocktimeout", 11)

Title: yes I tried that - but no luck....
