EzRegAPI OCX Control
Agile Web Application Development with Yii 1.1 and PHP5
Here is another Activex Control I have created on the old times of Visual Basic. This time, it easiest the tasks of a programmer to use the registry API functions of Windows.
Visual Basic was one of my preferred languages when I started programming, everybody thought that it was a very slow programming language and, even more, it was not a true programming language. My love for this pseudo-language was so strong that I decided to prove to everybody that, with a bit of tweaking here and there and making use of the DLL libraries, I could speed up the application 10 times more.
And that happened, nevertheless, API programming was not easy to do and if you failed to ‘translate’ the variable types of the function called to that of Visual Basic, you could probably end up with a ‘crash’ or ‘out of memory’ error.
This is why I created these ActiveX Controls, so to help others providing a simpler and already translated code to make use of the API functions without worrying about a crash of their programs.
This is what I wrote back then (remember, I was a new born programmer -script kid)
Well, most of the people I know studying our so-loved Visual Basic language find really hard to learn and very time-consuming the way to implement the power of API functions into VB programs. Even for the most simple thing is a time-consuming operation: find and insert necessary functions, constants, and then know exactly the steps to do in order to use the functions appropriately. It is true that VB6 environment provides some templates and that you can create your own to do the job, but sometimes those templates have to be re-shaped to suit the needs of a new project.
That’s why I have started a series of ActiveX controls that will help not only beginners but to all those lazy programmers that, like me, doesn’t like to spend too much time doing research/re-shape and just want to design and code like maniacs.
