DeleteSetting (statement)

Syntax DeleteSetting appname [,section [,key]]
Description Deletes a setting from the registry.
Comments You can control the behavior of DeleteSetting by omitting parameters. If you specify all three parameters, then DeleteSetting deletes your specified setting. If you omit key, then DeleteSetting deletes all of the keys from section. If both section and key are omitted, then DeleteSetting removes that application’s entry from the system registry. The following table describes the named parameters to the DeleteSetting statement:
Parameter Description
appname String expression indicating the name of the application whose setting will be deleted.  
section String expression indicating the name of the section whose setting will be deleted.
key String expression indicating the name of the setting to be deleted from the registry.
Example 

                           'The following example adds two entries to the Windows registry
                           'if run under Win32 or to NEWAPP.INI on other platforms,
                           'using the SaveSetting statement. It then uses DeleteSetting
                           'first to remove the Startup section, then to remove
                           'the NewApp key altogether.
                           Sub Main()
                           SaveSetting appname := "NewApp", section := "Startup", _
                           key := "Height", setting := 200
                           SaveSetting appname := "NewApp", section := "Startup", _
                           key := "Width", setting := 320
                           DeleteSetting "NewApp", "Startup" 'Remove Startup section
                           DeleteSetting "NewApp" 'Remove NewApp key
                           End Sub
