Thank you in advance for any and all assistance, it is GREATLY appreciated.
I'm wondering if there is a way to duplicate a function in regedit of find
and find next for keywords programmatically, then to list them in a treeview
or listbox?

If so, could someone point me to some code?

(notibly, the Registry classes).

Hello eSolTec, Inc. 501(c)(3),

Geez.  Is there anything you know how to do yourself?  It would save us all
a great amount of time if you just asked someone to write your app for you.

Hi Michael,

I am afraid there hasn't been a sample by hand to do this, the general
approach is to enumerate all the registry keys/subkys and their values for
the target data you want to find.

You can use the RegistryKey.GetSubKeyNames to enumerate a specific key
(e.g. HKCU), then enumerate each of its subkey recursively. Once you get a
leaf subkey (which hasn't its own subkeys), you can use the
RegistryKey.GetValueNames to get all of its value names and then use the
RegistryKey.GetValue to retrieve their values.

The following MSDN documentation contains the code snippets on using the
above FCL methods:

RegistryKey.GetSubKeyNames Method
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.win32.registrykey.getsubk
eynames.aspx

RegistryKey.GetValueNames Method 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.win32.registrykey.getvalu
enames.aspx


By the way, if you are not very familiar about how to populate a treeview
control in VB.NET, you can refer to the following samples:

I hope the above information helps, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am standing by to help you.

Thanks!
