string Application.LoadValue (

Example 1

first_name = Application.LoadValue("User Info", "First Name");

Loads the current value of the "First Name" key in the "User Info" section, and stores it in a variable called "first_name".

Example 2

address = Application.LoadValue("Company", "Address");

Looks up the value of "Address" in the "Company" section, and stores it in a variable named "address".

Example 3

user_name = "";

-- Loop until a valid user name is entered or the user cancels.

while (user_name == "") and (user_name ~= "CANCEL") do

--Prompt the user for their user name.

user_name = Dialog.Input("User Information", "Please enter your user name:", "", MB_ICONQUESTION);

-- If the user does not enter any text, display an error message. The loop will continue from the beginning.

if user_name == "" then

result = Dialog.Message("Error", "Your information could not be processed as entered. Please try again.", MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

-- If the user entered a valid user name and didn't cancel, store the value in the Registry.

elseif user_name ~= "CANCEL" then

Application.SaveValue("Your_User_Name", "Your_Key", user_name);

-- Check to see if there was an error saving.

error = Application.GetLastError();

end

-- If the user didn't cancel and there was no error saving,

-- Load the user name from the registry and display a welcome dialog.

if (user_name ~= "CANCEL") and (error == 0) then

loaded_username = Application.LoadValue("Your_User_Name", "Your_Key");

-- If the value loaded successfully.

if (Application.GetLastError() == 0) then

result = Dialog.Message("Hello", "Welcome "..loaded_username.."!", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

end

Prompts the user for a user name using the Dialog.Input action and then saves the name in the Registry. The name is then loaded from the Registry and displayed in a dialog.
