Displaying Registry values in Visual Basic

I am trying to get a registry value and display it within a Visual Basic
program. I'm able to get the value, but can't get it to display in the form
automatically.

Does anyone know how to get a registry value to display within a visual
basic form by clicking a button?

Thanks. Jeff

Even better.....

Complete Registry control

Check out the small chunks of sample code on that page. It's very easy to
use.

"Automatically"? Are you a big user of data binding or something? Because
very few things will every be displayed "automatically"; you usually have to
DO something to make them display, like setting the Text or Caption property
of a control.
