wxConfigBase class defines the basic interface of all config classes. It can
not be used by itself (it's an abstract base class) and you'll always use one

-any other.
+of its derivations: wxIniConfig, wxFileConfig, wxRegConfig or any other.
However, usually you don't even need to know the precise nature of the class
you're working with but you would just use the wxConfigBase methods. This
allows you to write the same code regardless of whether you're working with
the registry under Win32 or text-based config files under Unix (or even
Windows 3.1 .INI files if you're really unlucky). To make writing the portable
-code even easier, wxWindows provides a typedef \helpref{wxConfig}{wxconfig}

which is mapped onto the native wxConfigBase implementation on the given
platform: i.e. wxRegConfig under Win32, wxIniConfig under Win16 and
wxFileConfig otherwise.

"registry hive" for wxRegConfig and, generally speaking, might mean any

bool} you can work with function taking/returning {\it long} and just use the

Final remark: the {\it szKey} parameter for all these functions can contain an
arbitrary path (either relative or absolute), not just the key name.
