Hello,
Ther is no BlackBox abstraction for manipulating the full Windows registry.
(As you probably know HostRegistry can be used to manipulate the BlackBox
sub tree of the Windows registry.)
But by using the module WinApi you have access to most Windows API
functions. So, to for example open the root key in the Windows registry you
need to do something like:
IMPORT WinApi;
VAR res: INTEGER; keyHandle: WinApi.HKEY;
BEGIN
...
res := WinApi.RegOpenKey(WinApi.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, , 0, WinApi.KEY_READ,
keyHandle);
...
END
The Windows API is not documented in the BlackBox documentation, but
Microsoft MSDN is a very good source of information about how to use WinApi.
The following link explains the use of the registry functions:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winbase/regapi_59mb.htm
Hope this helps you a bit on the way!
Regards,
Bengt Johansson
