Dealing with the Windows Registry
Contents
Overview
This class offers methods useful to deal with the Windows Registry without using .NET.
Terminology
To understand the names of the methods you need to understand the terminology. If you find the terminology strange: so do I, but it was invented by Microsoft and got widely accepted. That is the reason why I decided to go for it: it makes it easier to understand others while talking about the Windows Registry.
In this picture:
you can see that this string is visible in the top of the window:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dyalog\Dyalog APL/W 12.0 Unicode\AutoComplete
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
This is called a "Main key". There is a particular number of pre-defined main keys available you can choose from. For the most important one from an application programmers view there is also a shortcut available: Instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER you can use HKCU.
SOFTWARE\Dyalog\Dyalog APL/W 12.0 Unicode
This is called a subkey.
On the right side you see a list. The entries in this list are called "value". CancelKey1 is there a value. The actual data saved under this value is called "data".
