Registry Database Functions

These functions are used for accessing the System Registry database.

To get an access, a new handle must first be requested with the help of regNewHandle. The remaining functions can then be called by means of this handle. At the end, the handle must be released again with the help of regDeleteHandle.

regClose	closes the access to a key in the registry database	1: INTEGER: Handle	BOOLEAN: true: OK false: Error	regClose (reghandle)
regCreateKey	generates a new key in the registry database and opens this for access	1: INTEGER: Handle 2: BOOLEAN: Folder to be accessed: true: HKEY_CURRENT_USER false: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (other folders cannot be accessed from EbsScript) 3: STRING: Path of the searched key 4: BOOLEAN true: read-only access false: read and write access	BOOLEAN: true: OK false: Error	regCreateKey (reghandle, true, strRegPath, false);
regDeleteHandle	releases the handle on the registry database	1: INTEGER: Handle	BOOLEAN: true: OK false: Error	regDeleteHandle (reghandle);
regNewHandle	requests for an access handle to the registry database	-	INTEGER: Handle (in case of error 0)	reghandle: = regNewHandle;
regOpen	opens the access to a key in the registry database	1: INTEGER: Handle 2: BOOLEAN: Folder to be accessed: true: HKEY_CURRENT_USER false: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 3: STRING: Path of the searched key 4: BOOLEAN true: read-only access false: read and write access	BOOLEAN: true: OK false: Error	regOpen (reghandle, true, strRegPath, false)
regReadDWord	reads a value from the open key of the registry database	1: INTEGER: Handle 2: STRING: Name of the key 3: INTEGER: read value	BOOLEAN: true: OK false: Error
regReadString	reads a string from the open key of the registry database	1: INTEGER: Handle 2: STRING: Name of the key 3: STRING: read value	BOOLEAN: true: OK false: Error	regReadString (reghandle, regkeytim, oldstime
regWriteDWord	writes a value to the open key of the registry database	1: INTEGER: Handle 2: STRING: Name of the key 3: INTEGER: value to be entered	BOOLEAN: true: OK false: Error
