Hi, apologies, again, if this is a daft question.

Is there a way to monitor a reg key and if it equals a certain value it triggers an event.

For example a reg key equals either 0 or 1

If it = 0 do one thing

If it = 1 do something else

Also, is it possible to continually wait for the reg entry to change like in a loop.

Thanks in advance.

Would it be sufficient to check it in a Timer_Tick event and run your code from there?

Hello hAndyMan

I am trying to do the same thing (monitor if a reg key changes in my Palm Treo as it stops ringing at random & I miss calls). Would you mind letting me know how you did this in your application as I am new to this.

Many thanks
