Windows Registry Wrapper aims to streamline the use of the Windows Registry by providing easy to use CRUD functionality.
- It comes packed as a header-only file, meaning the only dependency you will have to worry about is the Windows API, which this wrapper builds upon.
- Written in modern C++17
The following table illustrates what functions are available for each type of operation
| Operation | Function | |
|---|---|---|
| Create | Key | Creates a key node under one of the hives |
| Number | Creates a value that stores a DWORD under a key | |
| String | Creates a value that stores a string under a key | |
| Query | Number | Gets the data stored in a DWORD value |
| String | Gets the data stored in a string value | |
| Key Info | Gets number of subkeys, the lenght of the longest subkey, number of values, length of the longest value | |
| Keys | Gets names of all subkeys | |
| Value Names | Gets names of all values belonging to the key | |
| Update | Number | Sets data for a DWORD value |
| String | Sets data for a string value | |
| Remove | Key | Removes key if it has no children |
| Value | Removes a specific value from a key | |
| Subkeys | Removes all direct child nodes | |
| Values | Removes all of the key's values | |
| Cluster | Removes a key recursively | |
| Misc | Peek Value | Retrieves the type and size of a value |
| Key Exists | Checks if a key exists | |
| Value Exists | Checks if a value exists | |
| Open | Opens a registry key with the desired access rights |
An example of how to effectively use these functions is provided in example.cpp.
The documentation can be found inside the header file.
