Issue Details

I need to modify Windows Registry key value in my LabVIEW VI. How can I read and modify Windows Registry key value in LabVIEW?

Solution

You can use the Windows Registry Access VIs to create, open, query, enumerate, close, and delete Windows registry keys. You also can enumerate, read, write, and delete the value of Windows registry keys.

 

There is Windows Registry Manipulation.vi which demonstrates the use of the Windows Registry Access VIs to write, read, and delete a sample key from the Windows registry. You can find the example by following these steps:

  1. Open LabVIEW and select Help and Find Examples.
  2. In the Example Finder, ensure you are browsing according to task
  3. The Windows Registry Manipulation.vi are located under Communicating with External Application >> Operating Systems.
