static String WindowsRegistry::getValue	(	const String &	regValuePath,
		const String &	defaultValue = `String::empty`
	)

static

Returns a string from the registry.

The path is a string for the entire path of a value in the registry, e.g. "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\foo\bar"

static String WindowsRegistry::getValueWow64	(	const String &	regValuePath,
		const String &	defaultValue = `String::empty`
	)

static

Returns a string from the WOW64 registry.

The path is a string for the entire path of a value in the registry, e.g. "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\foo\bar"

static uint32 WindowsRegistry::getBinaryValue	(	const String &	regValuePath,
		MemoryBlock &	resultData
	)

static

Reads a binary block from the registry.

The path is a string for the entire path of a value in the registry, e.g. "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\foo\bar"

Returns: a DWORD indicating the type of the key.

static bool WindowsRegistry::setValue	(	const String &	regValuePath,
		const String &	value
	)

static

Sets a registry value as a string.

This will take care of creating any groups needed to get to the given registry value.

static bool WindowsRegistry::setValue	(	const String &	regValuePath,
		uint32	value
	)

static

Sets a registry value as a DWORD.

This will take care of creating any groups needed to get to the given registry value.

static bool WindowsRegistry::setValue	(	const String &	regValuePath,
		uint64	value
	)

static

Sets a registry value as a QWORD.

This will take care of creating any groups needed to get to the given registry value.

static bool WindowsRegistry::setValue	(	const String &	regValuePath,
		const MemoryBlock &	value
	)

static

Sets a registry value as a binary block.

This will take care of creating any groups needed to get to the given registry value.

static bool WindowsRegistry::valueExists ( const String & regValuePath )

static

Returns true if the given value exists in the registry.

static bool WindowsRegistry::valueExistsWow64 ( const String & regValuePath )

static

Returns true if the given value exists in the registry.

static void WindowsRegistry::deleteValue ( const String & regValuePath )

static

Deletes a registry value.

static void WindowsRegistry::deleteKey ( const String & regKeyPath )

static

Deletes a registry key (which is registry-talk for 'folder').

static bool WindowsRegistry::registerFileAssociation	(	const String &	fileExtension,
		const String &	symbolicDescription,
		const String &	fullDescription,
		const File &	targetExecutable,
		int	iconResourceNumber,
		bool	registerForCurrentUserOnly
	)

static

Creates a file association in the registry.

This lets you set the executable that should be launched by a given file extension.

Parameters

fileExtension	the file extension to associate, including the initial dot, e.g. ".txt"
symbolicDescription	a space-free short token to identify the file type
fullDescription	a human-readable description of the file type
targetExecutable	the executable that should be launched
iconResourceNumber	the icon that gets displayed for the file type will be found by looking up this resource number in the executable. Pass 0 here to not use an icon
registerForCurrentUserOnly	if false, this will try to register the association for all users (you might not have permission to do this unless running in an installer). If true, it will register the association in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
