Tip of the day - Help Required

[pulsedav]

Hi,
I have created a 'Tip of the Day' form, containing a tick box that says 'Show at Start up'.
I would like when this tick box is ticked for the form to be displayed on startup, and vice versa when the tick box is unticked.
I understand this is a registry issue but can anyone please send me some code that will allow it to check and update the registry, in order for this to work properly?

Many many thanks,

You don't have to use the registry. You can save to file also. Check this http://www.codeproject.com/Purgatory/bfackrellConfg.asp

You don't need anything of that ... rather you can simply check if certain check box was unckecked on loading and that's it ... Cheers

How do you save that information then for the next time the program is loaded?

You got me ... evidently i haven't understod the point ... well, certain peace of info (0 or 1) could be saved in xml or text file so you can read that value and take action respectevely .... Cheers

We have used that in one of our apps but I can't release the code, sorry. (Privacy issues) BUT wat we did was use .dat file we created and just save the option in this file as a 1 for true or 0 for false. On startup read this dat file, if the Value is 1 then show a tip. Hope this helps
