Registry

How to read/write the registry?
Posted: 9 Jun 00

The best way to access to the registry is using TRegistry class.

TRegistry *Path;

Registry has "Keys" and "Values". Keys are "like" directories and Values are "like" files.
With TRegistry class you can access to one Key setting the "RootKey" and then Open
a key below it.

  Path=new TRegistry;
  Path->RootKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;        // Or other Root key
  Path->OpenKey("\\Software\\MySoftware",true);  // Open or create

Then, you can access to single "Values" by name. They can be BinaryData, Bool, Currency, Date, DateTime, Float, String, Integer and Time.

// To assure you have a value :
  if (!Path->ValueExists("MyValue")){
     Path->WriteInteger("MyValue",_DEFAUL_VALUE);
     }

// To Read :
  int Value;
  Value=Path->ReadInteger("MyKey");
   // or
  String Value;
  Value=Path->ReadString("MyKey");
  ...

// Write :
  int Value;
  Path->WriteInteger("MyKey",Value);
// or
  String Value;
  Path->WriteInteger("MyKey",Value);
  ...
  delete Path;
