RegDelValue

Deletes a named value data item for the specified subkey from the registry.

Syntax:

RegDelValue(handle, subkey-string [,view-flag])

Parameters:

(i) handle  handle to a registration database key.

(s) subkey-string a path from the key provided to the desired key, including the "data item name" in square brackets at the end of the key string.

(i) view-flag [optional] controls which registry view the function uses when accessing the Windows registry.
0 - view indicated by the last call to the RegOpenFlags.
32 - use the 32-bit registry view.
64 - use the 64-bit registry view.

Returns:

(i) @TRUE Data item was deleted.; @FALSE Data was not found.

 

The "data item name" in the Subkey-string must be enclosed in square brackets (see RegSetValue). Use "[]" for the data item name to delete the "default" value.

View-flag

This optional parameter controls which registry view the function uses when accessing the Windows registry. The optional parameter's values can be 32 to use the 32-bit view, 64 to use the 64-bit view, or 0 to use the view indicated by the last call to the RegOpenFlags. The parameter value of 0 can also causes a function to use the WinBatch default 64-bit view, if no call to RegOpenFlags has been made and setting the parameter to 0 is equivalent to omitting the parameter entirely.

Notes:

Example:


;To turn Sounds ON in the case Sounds was disabled.
ErrorMode(@OFF)
RegDelValue(@REGMACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Wilson WindowWare\Settings\WWWBATCH\MAIN[SOUNDS]")
ErrorMode(@CANCEL)
Message("Sounds", "Sound Settings - Sounds is on.")
