Don't hesitate to add your wishes here.

Version History

Version 2.3.1 from 2012-11-13

• Some methods crashed when an invalid name was passed.

Version 2.3.0 from 2012-06-29

• More ERROR* variables...

Version 2.2.7 from 2012-06-27

• New methods ListError and ListReg.

• List of error constants enhanced.
• Error messages improved.
• Plenty of new test cases.

Version 2.2.7 from 2012-05-26

• Bug in GetAllNamesAndValues fixed: Data of REG_SZ data type made it go into an endless loop when the data had more than 1024 characters.

• GetAllValues get renamed into GetAllValuesAndNames. Well, not exactly: GetAllValues still exists and will remain a method for a while until the next major release but call itself just GetAllNamesAndValues.

Version 2.2.6 from 2012-05-11

• Close now returns a (shy) result.

Version 2.2.5 from 2011-12-31

• Although 2.2.4 worked perfectly, two methods printed stuff to the session.

Version 2.2.4 from 2011-12-23

• Both methods GetAllValues and GetAllValueNames did not return correct data under certain circumstances.

• PutString failed to write empty values.

Version 2.2.3 from 2011-12-07

• Writing empty data with PutSring and type REG_MULTI_SZ crashed.

Version 2.2.2 from 2011-08-10

• Method DeleteSubKeyTree did not work.

Version 2.2.1 from 2011-08-02

• Size of the script reduced (width!). Important in order to avoid WS FULL when using Dyalog's "Search" tool.

Version 2.2.0 from 2011-06-02

• This version uses APLTreeUtils rather than APLTeamUtils

Version 2.1.0 from 2011-03-05

• New method GetAllSubKeyNames implemented. Returns a vector with the names of all sub-keys for a given key.

• New method GetTree implemented. Returns the names of all values and sub-keys of a given key recursively.

• New method GetTreeWithValues implemented. Returns the names of all sub-keys and the names and data of all values for a given key recursively.

Version 2.0.2 from 2011-02-26

• Bug fix in GetAllValueNames

Version 2.0.1 from 2011-02-09

• Bug fix in DeleteSubKey: attempt to delete a non-existing sub key failed.

Version 2.0.0 from 2011-02-08

Enhanced support for data types

• The class now supports these data types:
• REG_SZ (strings)
• REG_MULTI_SZ (nested strings)
• REG_EXPAND_SZ (expanded strings)
• REG_DWORD (32-bit integers)
• REG_BINARY (binary data)

New methods

• Close

• CopyTree

• DeleteSubKeyTree

• GetAllValueNames

• GetAllValues

• GetErrorAsStringFrom

• GetTypeAsStringFrom

• KeyInfo

• OpenAndCreateKey

• OpenKey

• PutBinary

Misc

Handles

Almost all methods accept now either a handle or a path except WinReg.DoesKeyExist (how can you have a handle when it does not exist?)

Constants

the class comes now with Microsoft's standard constants for errors, data types and access rights.

Version 1.3.1 from 2011-01-22

• GetValue as well as GetString now report an error when they are thrown at an unsupported data type.

Version 1.3.0 from 2011-01-15

• New method CopyTree introduced. (Vista and better)

• New method DeleteSubKeyTree introduced. (Vista and better)

• Documentation improved.

Version 1.2.0 from 2010-12-23

• When PutString exceeded the internal buffer size (255 chars - not bytes!) it failed silently. Now an exception is thrown. Additionally the buffer size was increased to 4,096 chars.

Version 1.1.0 from 2009-07-05

• DoesKeyExist as well as DoesValueExist returned a 1 in case an empty right argument was passed.

• The methods PutValue and PutString both return an empty shy argument now to make them easier to access from a dfns.

Version 1.0.0 from 2008-07-26

• First version established
