Windows Registry Key in Windows 7 (Telephony)

[Steven Alexander]

Hi ... I was using the key
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Country List to retrieve the
phone code of the country. It was working fine in Windows Vista. I have the
Windows 7 Beta (build 7000) and I don't see this key. Was it moved to other
place? if so...where? Or is not supported any more?

Thank you

Do you need to use the Phone and Modem Options control panel to set it up
first?

Steven,

I have found out two things about this... It effected me also.

One is that Andrew is correct that the Registry key may not exist in Windows
7 if you do not setup the regional information.

Secondly, I found that accessing the key in VB6 was slightly different and
one version needs a backslash and one doesnt... here's what I came up with
and it works fine;

sWindowsVersion = WindowsVersion
If CInt(Right$(WindowsVersion, 1)) > 7 Then
MasterKey = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Country
List"
Else
MasterKey = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Country
List\"
End If

I hope that helps!
