Include the Registry.hpp file: <pre><code>#include <Registry.hpp> </code></pre> Then in any function you have, you can write the following to read the value: <pre><code>String __fastcall ReadRegistryString(const String &key, const String &name, const String &def) { TRegistry *reg = new TRegistry(); String result; try { reg->RootKey = HKEY_CURRENT_USER; if (reg->OpenKeyReadOnly(key)) { result = reg->ReadString(name, def); reg->CloseKey(); } } __finally { delete reg; } return result; } </code></pre> So reading the value should be as easy as: <pre><code>ShowMessage(ReadRegistryString("Options", "Last Directory", "none")); </code></pre> You can use the following to write the value: <pre><code>void __fastcall WriteRegistryString(const String &key, const String &name, const String &value) { TRegistry *reg = new TRegistry(); try { reg->RootKey = HKEY_CURRENT_USER; if (reg->OpenKey(key, true)) { reg->WriteString(name, value); reg->CloseKey(); } } __finally { delete reg; } } </code></pre> Should be self explaining, remembering the try ... finally is actually really helpful when using the VCL TRegistry class. Edit I've heard that .ini files are stored in the registry in Windows, so if you want the speed advantage of ini files you should call them something else - like .cfg This is something I've heard from an although reliable source, I haven't tested it myself.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
