Hello,
I was wondering if someone can provide me with an example on how to write/read from the registry using the CRegKey class. I have never worked with the registry so please provide as much detail as possible. I basically need is to save a bunch of values from different dialog boxes, in other words to save a configuration. I want to have an entry in registry with my company name, and under there and entry for the software program and then the configurations. So I was to view it using regedit it would look something like this:
myComanyName
softwareName
Configurations
ConfigurationName1 (name of configuration as saved by the user)
checkbox1 = TRUE or FALSE (some data stored so when I read it I can tell if it was selected or not)
checkbox2 = TRUE or FALSE (TRUE means it was checked)
checkbox3 = TRUE or FALSE
....... (I will be storing about 40+ different data for each configuration)
ConfigurationName2
checkbox1 = TRUE or FALSE
checkbox2= TRUE or FALSE
checkbox3 = TRUE or FALSE
I want to call the functions (method) to save to the registry when the user clicks on "Save" button from within my own child dialog box I created, is that best place to write to the registry?
User will be able to click on a "Load Configuration" button from the main window or from the File menu, which will cause a child dialog box to appear(I already build the dialog box), I want to display all the current configurations saved in the registry, so I need to iterate through each one, get the configuration name and add it to my list. After that the user will select a configuration, I then need to query each checkbox value to set my checkbox controls accordingly. Is there an easy way to do this using CRegKey? and if so, example(s)?
Thanks.
