Managing information in the Windows registry

Functions for accessing the Registry

PowerBuilder provides several functions you can use to manage
application settings in the Windows registry:

Function Description
RegistryDelete Deletes a key or a value in a key in
the Windows registry.
RegistryGet Gets a value from the Windows registry.
RegistryKeys Obtains a list of the keys that are child
items (subkeys) one level below a key in the Windows registry.
RegistrySet Sets the value for a key and value name
in the Windows registry. If the key or value name does not exist,
RegistrySet creates a new key or value name.
RegistryValues Obtains a list of named values associated
with a key.

For the complete information for these functions,
see the PowerScript Reference
.

Both Windows 95 and Windows NT use a system registry for application settings,
but UNIX does not. Therefore, don’t use any of the functions
that access the Windows registry if you are building a cross-platform
application.

The examples below use the registry to keep track of database
connection parameters. The connection parameters are maintained
in the registry in the MyCoMyAppdatabase
branch
under HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftware
