1. Identities

Library name: ActiveX Registry editor 1.0
Library code: RegEdit
Library CLSID: 4DD7C9F5-3142-11D3-9DAC-204C4F4F5020
ProgID: RegEdit.Keys
Library file name: RegEdit.OCX

2. Scripting engines without types (VB Script, JavaScript, JScript, WSH, ASP)

You can create the object using CreateObject function:

Dim Keys
Set Keys = CreateObject("RegEdit.Keys")
Keys.SomeMethod SomeParameters
Keys.SomeProperty = SomeValue

You can also use CreateObject method method of Server object (ASP) to put the Keys object to page scope or CreateObject method of WScript object in WSH.

You can also put the object to Application or Session scope using <object ...> tag in global.asa

<object runat="server" scope="application" id="Keys"
 progid="RegEdit.Keys">
</object>

Please use ActivexObject object in JScript/JavaScript to create Keys object:

var Keys;
Keys = new ActiveXObject("RegEdit.Keys");
Keys.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
Keys.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

3. VBA (VBA 5, VBA 6, Visual Studio, Word, Excel, MS Access, ...)

VBA 5/6: You can reference the library using menu Project -> References -> select 'ActiveX Registry editor 1.0' in the listbox (or Project -> References -> Browse -> select RegEdit.OCX file).
MSAccess, Word, Excel: Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor, then Tools -> References
Then you can write:

Dim Keys As New RegEdit.Keys
Keys.SomeMethod SomeParameters
Keys.SomeProperty = SomeValue
    ...

Dim Keys As RegEdit.Keys
...
Set Keys = New RegEdit.Keys
Keys.SomeMethod SomeParameters
Keys.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

You can use CreateObject function also, of course:

Dim Keys As RegEdit.Keys
...
Set Keys = CreateObject("RegEdit.Keys")
Keys.SomeMethod SomeParameters
Keys.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

4. Visual Studio .NET (ASP.Net, VB.Net, C#, J#)

You can reference the library using menu Project -> Add reference -> COM tab -> select 'ActiveX Registry editor 1.0' in the listbox -> click Select. Then you can write (C#, J#):

 //create  a new Keys object
 RegEdit.Keys Keys = new RegEdit.KeysClass(); 
 Keys.set_String("Some text value"); 
 





 String SQL; 
 SQL = "Insert Into Table (BinaryColumn) values (0x" + Keys.get_HexString() + ")"; ...

or (VBA)

Dim Keys As New RegEdit.Keys 
Keys.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
Keys.SomeProperty = SomeValue

5. T-SQL, MS SQL stored procedures and functions

DECLARE @Keys INT, @OLEResult INT 
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OACreate 'RegEdit.Keys', @Keys OUT
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'Error create component Keys'

--Set a property of Keys.
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OASetProperty @Keys, 'PropertyName', @SomeSQLValue
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'PropertyName set problem'

--Get a value of a property of Keys.
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OAGetProperty @Keys, 'PropertyName', @SomeSQLValue OUTPUT
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'PropertyName get problem'

--Call some method of Keys.
EXEC @OLEResult = sp_OAMethod @Keys, 'MethodName', 
 @ReturnValue OUTPUT, @parameter1, @parameter2

5. Other programming environments

Please see documentation of your programing environment, work with COM objects (OLE objects, ActiveX objects). Keys is a standard COM object, it can work with other environments, such are Delphi or PowerBuilder.
