    This document describes how to use the SetGlobal function to write values to an initialization file using the WritePrivateProfileString external procedure. The SetGlobal function declares WritePrivateProfileString from the kernel32 DLL, then calls it to write the passed name and value parameters to the specified initialization file. WritePrivateProfileString searches the Windows directory if a full path is not provided, and will create the file if it does not exist.

    Extern.Declare(RetType, MethodName, LibName, Alias [, ArgType(s)])


    If the function successfully copies the string to the initialization file, the return value is nonzero If the gPARFILENAME parameter does not contain a full path and file name for the file, WritePrivateProfileString searches the Windows directory for the file. If the file does not exist, this function creates the file in the Windows directory. If gPARFILENAME contains a full path and file name and the file does not exist, WritePrivateProfileString creates the file. The specified directory must already exist.
