{Core}

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ WoW64Mode

These values can be used to specify whether the 32- or 64-bit registry should be used.

When running on a 32-bit OS, there is no 64-bit registry, so the mode will be ignored.

Enumerator
WoW64_Default 

Default handling: 32-bit apps will use the 32-bit registry, and 64-bit apps will use the 64-bit registry.

WoW64_64bit 

Always use the 64-bit registry store.

(KEY_WOW64_64KEY).

WoW64_32bit 

Always use the 32-bit registry store.

(KEY_WOW64_32KEY).

Member Function Documentation

◆ deleteKey()

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::deleteKey ( const String regKeyPath,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
static

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

◆ deleteValue()

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::deleteValue ( const String regValuePath,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
static

Deletes a registry value.

◆ getBinaryValue()

static uint32 juce::WindowsRegistry::getBinaryValue ( const String regValuePath,
MemoryBlock resultData,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
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.

◆ getValue()

static String juce::WindowsRegistry::getValue ( const String regValuePath,
const String defaultValue = String(),
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
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"

◆ getValueWow64()

static String juce::WindowsRegistry::getValueWow64 ( const String ,
const String defaultValue = String() 
)
static

deprecated

◆ keyExists()

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::keyExists ( const String regValuePath,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
static

Returns true if the given key exists in the registry.

◆ keyExistsWow64()

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::keyExistsWow64 ( const String )
static

deprecated

◆ registerFileAssociation()

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::registerFileAssociation ( const String fileExtension,
const String symbolicDescription,
const String fullDescription,
const File targetExecutable,
int  iconResourceNumber,
bool  registerForCurrentUserOnly,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
static

Creates a file association in the registry.

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

Parameters
fileExtensionthe file extension to associate, including the initial dot, e.g. ".txt"
symbolicDescriptiona space-free short token to identify the file type
fullDescriptiona human-readable description of the file type
targetExecutablethe executable that should be launched
iconResourceNumberthe 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
registerForCurrentUserOnlyif 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.
modethe WoW64 mode to use for choosing the database

◆ setValue() [1/4]

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::setValue ( const String regValuePath,
const String value,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
static

Sets a registry value as a string.

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

◆ setValue() [2/4]

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::setValue ( const String regValuePath,
uint32  value,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
static

Sets a registry value as a DWORD.

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

◆ setValue() [3/4]

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::setValue ( const String regValuePath,
uint64  value,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
static

Sets a registry value as a QWORD.

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

◆ setValue() [4/4]

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::setValue ( const String regValuePath,
const MemoryBlock value,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
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.

◆ valueExists()

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::valueExists ( const String regValuePath,
WoW64Mode  mode = WoW64_Default 
)
static

Returns true if the given value exists in the registry.

◆ valueExistsWow64()

static bool juce::WindowsRegistry::valueExistsWow64 ( const String )
static

deprecated
