| The Windows Registry: from the Ground UpImplemeting
these functions into a reusable component
As I have only gone over the basics of the registry, there are however more complex things that might want to do, like store and retrieve data of different types and add security when deleting keys or connect to a remote computers registry. I have therefore built a structured re-usable class that allows all of these functions and more be done, even if you do not completely understand how it works. I have included detailed comments throughout the class that describe how it works. If you read through these you should understand how it works, but only an ActiveX DLL version is free and not with the andvanced features. For the source code and to perform other advanced functions as well as those undocuemented are only availible with the MW Code Library. Below you see a flow diagram showing how the class works:
You can see from the diagram that you read and write data to the properties of the class and then call the functions. The data received back is then sent back to the properties for retrieval. The ActiveX DLL and a demo project showing all its features can be downloaded by clicking on the link below. Download |
