Well, I can just say this came out of the dance of my fingers

Ok, I'll say a little more...

It's a class I built so that you easily create, read and delete registry keys.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use:
        First you need to globally declare: 'var Regs = new Regs(SaveLocation)' -> where SaveLocation is a boolean, if it's 0,
            it will save to MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Messenger.UserId, if it's 1 it will save to MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Messenger.MyEmail.
       
Then you can use Regs.methods():

            Regs.Del(key)                                 - deletes the 'key' registry;

            Regs.Read(key)                                - reads the 'key' registry;

            Regs.WriteStr(key, value, overwrite)        - writes a string with 'key' name, 'value' value, overwrite is a bool, if omitted, overwrites;

            Regs.WriteBool(key, value, overwrite)        - writes a bool with 'key' name, 'value' - 0/1, overwrite is a bool, if omitted, overwrites;

The file is on the attachment

Your script looks ok, but it uses the wshell method that can be restrictive sometimes.

Matty made a script that uses the Registry API´s of windows directly

Attached is Matty´s Registry script that is included in Screenshot Sender 4

I´m not sure if there´s a newer version, you should contact Matty about that.

there's some problem with your attachment, but I have Matty's script, I'll give it a look

There´s nothing wrong with my attachment?

btw, what do u mean by restrictive?

RegWrite will write at most one DWORD to a REG_BINARY value. Larger values are not supported with this method.

RegWrite, RegRead and RegDelete are the only ones that JScript knows and those methods are very, and I mean very, limited.

eg:

    * You can not check if a registry key exists or not with RegRead; it will produce an error. => can be worked around using error checking.
    * You can not write bigger values than a DWORD to a binary registry value (this means no binary data strings for example)
    * You can not write a REG_MULTI_SZ value with RegWrite
    * You can not enumerate registry keys
    * and the list goes on...

IIRC there was a limit of some kind, can't remember exactly.

That's probably because your browser can't figure out that the file encoding is UCS2-LE (UTF16-LE)

I forgot to mention over the weekend or sometime next week I will be extending the functionality and including RegDeleteTree and RegCopyTree, now because these are native to Windows Vista I will have to code the Windows XP side myself but that wont be a problem. What is the use you ask? None really Just it would be nice to have a full Registry Class (although mine isn't a class it is still good haha.)

I can try to turn it into a class if you like

I think it would be VERY NICE to have a class like that. It would save the scripters a lot of work.

That and a class for using ini files for settings too, I was thinking of building it when I finished regsclass

Does it really need to be a class?

Sometimes classes can be very handy, but sometimes also over-complicate matters.

---

LifelesS, honestly if I wanted it to be made a class I would have made it one, however something like this doesn't need multiple instances therefore is not needed.

I got a PM asking how to use the Registry Enum components well this is how it is done.

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart) {
    var objSubKeys = {}
    Registry_EnumSubkeys(HKCU, 'Software\\Patchou\\Messenger Plus! Live', objSubKeys);
   
    for (var objSubKey in objSubKeys) {
        Debug.Trace(objSubKey);
        var objValues  = {};
        Registry_EnumKeys(HKCU, 'Software\\Patchou\\Messenger Plus! Live\\'+objSubKey+'\\Preferences', objValues);
        for (var objValue in objValues) {
            Debug.Trace('  > '+objValue+' : '+objValues[objValue]);
        }
    }
}

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart) {
    Debug.Trace('Software\\Patchou\\Messenger Plus! Live');
    GetRegistryTree(HKCU, 'Software\\Patchou\\Messenger Plus! Live', '  ');
}

function GetRegistryTree(Location, Key, prefix) {
    var objSubKeys = {};
    var objValues  = {};

    Registry_EnumKeys(Location, Key, objValues);
    for (var objValue in objValues) {
        Debug.Trace(prefix+'> '+objValue+'\t: '+objValues[objValue]);
    }
    Registry_EnumSubkeys(Location, Key, objSubKeys);
    for (var objSubKey in objSubKeys) {
        Debug.Trace(prefix+Key+'\\'+objSubKey);
        GetRegistryTree(Location, Key+'\\'+objSubKey, prefix+'  ');
    }
}

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart) {
    Registry_DeleteTree(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHinE, 'Software\\Patchou');
        Debug.Trace('Registry_DeleteKey[\'Software\\Patchou]\' : '+Registry_DeleteKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'Software\\Patchou'));
}

function Registry_DeleteTree(Location, Key) {
    var objSubKeys = {};
    var objValues  = {};

    Registry_EnumKeys(Location, Key, objValues);
    for (var objValue in objValues) {
        Debug.Trace('Registry_DeleteKeyValue['+Key+'\\'+objValue+'] : '+Registry_DeleteKeyValue(Location, Key, objValue));
    }
    Registry_EnumSubkeys(Location, Key, objSubKeys);
    for (var objSubKey in objSubKeys) {
        Registry_DeleteTree(Location, Key+'\\'+objSubKey);
        Debug.Trace('Registry_DeleteKey['+Key+'\\'+objSubKey+'] : '+Registry_DeleteKey(Location, Key+'\\'+objSubKey));
    }
}

I've downloaded your latest registry library, but there seems to be a bug in the Registry_KeyValueExist function.

The function code says:

code:

---

function Registry_KeyValueExist(lKeyLocation, sKey, sKeyName){
   var hKey = Interop.Allocate(4);
   var sTmp = Interop.Allocate(4);
   var lActualType = Interop.Allocate(4);
   
   var lRetVal = Interop.Call('advapi32.dll', 'RegOpenKeyExW', lKeyLocation, sKey, 0, KEY_READ, hKey);
   if (lRetVal === ERROR_SUCCESS){
      lRetVal = Interop.Call('advapi32.dll', 'RegQueryValueExW', hKey.ReadDWORD(0), sKeyName, 0, lActualType, sTmp, 0);
      Registry_CloseKey(hKey.ReadDWORD(0));
      return lRetVal === ERROR_SUCCESS;
   }else{ return false; }
}

      Registry_CloseKey(hKey.ReadDWORD(0));
      return lRetVal === ERROR_SUCCESS;
   }else{ return false; }
}

Thanks I will fix that, I never used that function or tested it I just assumed it worked my bad. Sorry all.

hm I created a registry class a while ago

http://websvn.thedt.net/Scripts/markup/213/codedump___registryClass.js

javascript doesn't have classes. if you want to make it an object, you wouldn't be using multiple instances anyway. you'd just be replacing _ with ..
