WriteKey Method (Utility Control)
Windows - Visual C++

Description
The WriteKey method writes a value to the Windows registry, depending on the value of the IniType property.

Syntax
long result = WriteKey(LPCTSTR section, LPCTSTR entry);

The WriteKey syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
section	A String containing the section name of the Windows registry.
entry	A String containing the entry name within the section.
result	Return value. A long integer containing 0 if successful and 1 if not.

Remarks
The value of the IniType property determines whether the WriteKey method writes to the Windows registry. If IniType is 0, it indicates that WriteKey should write to the initialization (.ini) file. If IniType is 1, it indicates that WriteKey should write to the Windows registry. The IniValue property indicates either the initialization (.ini) file name or the Windows registry key value that should be accessed, again depending on the value of the IniType property.

Before WriteKey is called, the KeyValue property should be set to the value to be written.
