TITLE   :BUG: "Key" Argument of SaveToolBar & RestoreToolBar Doesn't Work
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:5.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbVBp500 kbGrpDSVB

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning Edition for Windows, version 5.0 
 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows, version 5.0 
 - Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The SaveToolbar method of the Toolbar control has three arguments that allow you
to save a registry key, subkey, and value in the registry. Upon executing this
method, only the subkey and value are saved in the registry.

CAUSE
=====

The key argument of the SaveToolbar method is ignored. The following example
will actually store the value "Toolbar1" at the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\User1 rather than HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppName\User1 as you might
expect:

      Toolbar1.SaveToolbar "AppName", "User1", "Toolbar1"

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Start a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by
   default.

2. Add a reference to the Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5.0 by completing
   the following steps:

   a. From the Project menu, click Components to display the Components dialog
      box.

   b. From the Controls list, check Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5.0.

   c. Click OK to close the Components dialog box.

3. Add a toolbar control to Form1. Add some buttons to the toolbar control.

4. Add a CommandButton to Form1.

5. Copy the following code to the Code window of Form1:

         Option Explicit

         Private Sub Command1_Click()
            Toolbar1.SaveToolbar "NewKey", "NewSubKey", "NewSubKeyValue"
         End Sub

6. On the Run menu, click Start or press the F5 key to start the program.

   a. Click the command button to add the new registry key, subkey, and value.

   b. End the program.

   c. Run RegEdit.exe to search for "NewKey". Notice that the new registry key
      you expect (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\NewKey\NewSubKey) does not exist.

   d. Run RegEdit.exe to search for "NewSubKey". Notice that the new registry
      key is actually HKEY_CURRENT_USER\NewSubKey.
