Run at Startup & Registry

[Dyndrilliac]

I seem to have hit a snag. For some reason when I use:

Code Select Expand

AddToRun("Omega Loader", App.Path + "\" + App.EXEName)
I get

"Compile Error! Expected: ="

But I shouldn't need an "=" in there. Heres what I have in my Module:

Code Select Expand

Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32.dll" (ByVal Hkey As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegCreateKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegCreateKeyA" (ByVal Hkey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, phkResult As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegDeleteKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegDeleteKeyA" (ByVal Hkey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String) As Long
Declare Function RegDeleteValue Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegDeleteValueA" (ByVal Hkey As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String) As Long
Declare Function RegOpenKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegOpenKeyA" (ByVal Hkey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, phkResult As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegQueryValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegQueryValueExA" (ByVal Hkey As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String, ByVal lpReserved As Long, lpType As Long, lpData As Any, lpcbData As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegSetValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegSetValueExA" (ByVal Hkey As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String, ByVal Reserved As Long, ByVal dwType As Long, lpData As Any, ByVal cbData As Long) As Long
   
   Const ERROR_SUCCESS = 0&
   Const REG_SZ = 1 ' Unicode nul terminated String
   Const REG_DWORD = 4 ' 32-bit number

Public Enum HKeyTypes
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = &H80000000
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
   HKEY_USERS = &H80000003
   HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA = &H80000004
End Enum

Public Sub AddToRun(ProgramName As String, FileToRun As String)
   'Add a program to the 'Run at Startup' registry keys
   Call SaveString(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", ProgramName, FileToRun)
End Sub

Public Sub SaveKey(Hkey As HKeyTypes, strPath As String)
   Dim keyhand&
   r = RegCreateKey(Hkey, strPath, keyhand&)
   r = RegCloseKey(keyhand&)
End Sub

Public Sub SaveString(Hkey As HKeyTypes, strPath As String, strValue As String, strdata As String)
   Dim keyhand As Long
   Dim r As Long
   r = RegCreateKey(Hkey, strPath, keyhand)
   r = RegSetValueEx(keyhand, strValue, 0, REG_SZ, ByVal strdata, Len(strdata))
   r = RegCloseKey(keyhand)
End Sub

As you can imagine, I am perplexed.

Edit: I also have:

Code Select Expand

Dim VarAddRemove As New AddRemoveIn my Form Declarations and:

Code Select Expand

Set VarAddRemove = New AddRemoveIn my Form Load procedure.

Remove your parentheses.

Make it, AddToRun "0mega Loader", App.path + "\" + App.EXEName

A quick tip: make it a habbit to use the & operator instead of + because VB tends to try to use the + as a mathematical operator.
