  11
  12     wxRegKey is a class representing the Windows registry (it is only available
  13     under Windows). One can create, query and delete registry keys using this
  14     class.
  15
  16     The Windows registry is easy to understand. There are five registry keys,
  17     namely:
  18
  19     @li @c HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR)
  20     @li @c HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU)
  21     @li @c HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)
  22     @li @c HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (HKCC)
  23     @li @c HKEY_USERS (HKU)
  24
  25     After creating a key, it can hold a value. The values can be:
  26
  27     @li String Value
  28     @li Binary Value
  29     @li DWORD Value
  30     @li Multi String Value
  31     @li Expandable String Value
  32
  33     @onlyfor{wxmsw}
  34
  35     @b Example:
  36
  37     @code
  38     // This assume that the key already exists, use HasSubKey() to check
  39     // for the key existence if necessary.
  40     wxRegKey key(wxRegKey::HKLM, "Software\\MyKey");
  41
  42     // Create a new value "MyValue" and set it to 12.
  43     key.SetValue("MyValue", 12);
  44
  45     // Read the value back.
  46     long value;
  47     key.QueryValue("MyValue", &value);
  48     wxMessageBox(wxString::Format("%d", value), "Registry Value", wxOK);
  49
  50     // Get the number of subkeys and enumerate them.
  51     size_t subkeys;
  52     key.GetKeyInfo(&subkeys, NULL, NULL, NULL);
  53
  54     wxString key_name;
  55     key.GetFirstKey(key_name, 1);
  56     for(int i = 0; i < subkeys; i++)
  57     {
  58         wxMessageBox(key_name, "Subkey Name", wxOK);
  59         key.GetNextKey(key_name, 1);
  60     }
