@class wxRegKey
- @wxheader{msw/registry.h}
wxRegKey is a class representing the Windows registry (it is only available
under Windows). One can create, query and delete registry keys using this
@onlyfor{wxmsw}
- @library{wxbase}
- @category{misc}
-
@b Example:
@code
- wxRegKey *key = new wxRegKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\MyKey");
-
- // Create the key if it does not exist.
- if( !key->Exists() )
- key->Create();
+ // This assume that the key already exists, use HasSubKey() to check
+ // for the key existence if necessary.
+ wxRegKey key(wxRegKey::HKLM, "Software\\MyKey");
- // Create a new value "MYVALUE" and set it to 12.
- key->SetValue("MYVALUE", 12);
+ // Create a new value "MyValue" and set it to 12.
+ key.SetValue("MyValue", 12);
// Read the value back.
long value;
- key->QueryValue("MYVALUE", &value);
+ key.QueryValue("MyValue", &value);
wxMessageBox(wxString::Format("%d", value), "Registry Value", wxOK);
// Get the number of subkeys and enumerate them.
size_t subkeys;
- key->GetKeyInfo(&subkeys, NULL, NULL, NULL);
+ key.GetKeyInfo(&subkeys, NULL, NULL, NULL);
wxString key_name;
- key->GetFirstKey(key_name, 1);
+ key.GetFirstKey(key_name, 1);
for(int i = 0; i < subkeys; i++)
{
wxMessageBox(key_name, "Subkey Name", wxOK);
- key->GetNextKey(key_name, 1);
+ key.GetNextKey(key_name, 1);
