Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

Functions to read/write values from the Windows registry.

 

Properties

 

subKey

For security, all variables are stored in a special DX Studio key, but you can specify any string as a sub key.  To be absolutely sure that your application doesn't interfere with another, you can use your document's GUID as a subkey.

 

Methods

 

readValue(name)

Reads an entry from the registry called 'name'.  The returned type will match that of the variable used to write the value.

writeValue(name,value)

Makes an entry in the registry called 'name' and sets it to 'value'.  Values can be strings or numbers.

 

Examples

 

function onInit()

{

       system.registry.writeValue("testval",11.73);

       var test=system.registry.readValue("testval");

       print("Value read from registry: "+test);

}

 

Remarks

 

The full registry key to your document values is...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Worldweaver\DX Studio\DocVars\[subKey]
