------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Jan 26 11:33:36 +0000 2011 ------- What this issue describes in a somewhat obscure way is a total block for all calls via OOBasic to the Windows registry, which ask for string values. Our large extension for teachers and schools relies on the functionality in the standard module "ImportWizard.API" and now is effectively rendered useless with OOo 3.3RC10 and presumably the final release. A lot of other extensions will be affected. Why has this issue priority P3, a nebulous target milestone "OOo 3.x", why is keyword "regression" missing though Oliver Brinzing and Stephan Bergmann have both called this a regression in a discussion on the [email protected] mailing list? The solution given by Stephan Bergmann >If the relevant ImportWizard.API module code is changed to "ByVal lpData As >String" the given test would succeed." does not work, at least not for OOo 3.3RC10. In RC10, the following simple Basic test lines still produce an empty message box, though the registry value is "Seite &s" (in a German Windows, it's language specific). Sub TestAPICall MsgBox ImportWizard.API.QueryValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Notepad","szTrailer") End Sub Hans Zybura --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
