all Ini Functions activeX.dll


Visual Basic 6, or VB Classic

Performs all ini file functions from within a single dll file.

Original Author: unknown

Inputs

Key name
Section name
New Key Value

Assumptions

You need to add the Inifunctions.dll to the project reference.
then insert the following code in general declaration
eg.
Dim g_IniFunctions As New CInI
then use in your program the following code:
dim RC as variant,R as long,I as long
With g_IniFunctions
SectionId = .SectionGet(Section name)
End With
For R = 0 To UBound(SectionId)
I = InStr(SectionId(R), "=")
Combo1.AddItem Mid(SectionId _(R), I + 1)
Next
dim strReturnWhat as string
strReturnWhat = g_IniFunctions.KeyGet(section name), KeyName)
The other inputs are self explanatory.
ini file name is inside the INIfunctions.dll
save class as Cini.cls and compile as INIFunctions.dll

Returns

IniFunction.KeyGet returns the value of a specified key.
IniFunction.SectionGet returns all values in the specified section to a variant

Side Effects

None that I know of, But I have only used it on VB6.
