Using the Windows Registry in your IB Programs
| Introduction: |
The Registry Mnemonics allow you to create and manage Windows registry settings for your IB application. Entries may be made under either HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software. |
| Syntax: |
Print (RegCreateKey = Type$, BaseKey$, SubKey$) Creates a new registry entry. Print (RegDeleteKey = Type$, BaseKey$, SubKey$) Deletes a registry entry and all of its name/value pairs. Print (RegSetValue = Type$, BaseKey$, Name$, Value$, Type) Assigns the specified Name/Value pair of a given type. Print (RegGetValue = Type$, BaseKey$, Name$) Returns the the Type and Value of the specified Name/Value pair. Print (RegDeleteValue = Type$, BaseKey$, Name$) Deletes the specified Name/Value pair. |
| Discussion: |
For all functions: Type$ = "USER" or "SYSTEM" where "USER" translates as HKCU\Software; "SYSTEM" translates as HKLM\Software BaseKey$ = an EXISTING registry key which may contain "\" for subkeys, For example: "Signature Systems\DocMgr" The Registry Mnemonics were introduced in Comet16/32 2011. |
