Syntax

GetAllSettings(appname, section)

The GetAllSettings function syntax has these :

Part Description
appname Required. containing the name of the application or whose key settings are requested. On the Macintosh, this is the filename of the initialization file in the Preferences folder in the System folder.
section Required. String expression containing the name of the section whose key settings are requested. GetAllSettings returns a whose contents is a two-dimensional of strings containing all the key settings in the specified section and their corresponding values.

Remarks

GetAllSettings returns an uninitialized Variant if either appname or section does not exist.

Example

This example first uses the SaveSetting statement to make entries in the Windows registry for the application specified as appname, then uses the GetAllSettings function to display the settings. Note that application names and section names can't be retrieved with GetAllSettings. Finally, the DeleteSetting statement removes the application's entries. 

' Variant to hold 2-dimensional array returned by GetAllSettings ' Integer to hold counter. Dim MySettings As Variant, intSettings As Integer ' Place some settings in the registry. SaveSetting appname := "MyApp", section := "Startup", _ key := "Top", setting := 75 SaveSetting "MyApp","Startup", "Left", 50 ' Retrieve the settings. MySettings = GetAllSettings(appname := "MyApp", section := "Startup") For intSettings = LBound(MySettings, 1) To UBound(MySettings, 1) Debug.Print MySettings(intSettings, 0), MySettings(intSettings, 1) Next intSettings DeleteSetting "MyApp", "Startup"
