Public Class Methods

create (hkey, subkey, desired = KEY_ALL_ACCESS, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED) { |obj| ... }

— Registry.create(key, subkey, desired = KEY_ALL_ACCESS, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED)

— Registry.create(key, subkey, desired = KEY_ALL_ACCESS, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED) { |reg| … }

Create or open the registry key subkey under key. You can use predefined key HKEY_* (see Constants)

If subkey is already exists, key is opened and Registry#created? method will return false.

If block is given, the key is closed automatically.

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 463
def self.create(hkey, subkey, desired = KEY_ALL_ACCESS, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED)
  newkey, disp = API.CreateKey(hkey.hkey, subkey, opt, desired)
  obj = new(newkey, hkey, subkey, disp)
  if block_given?
    begin
      yield obj
    ensure
      obj.close
    end
  else
    obj
  end
end

expand_environ (str)

Replace %w+% into the environment value of what is contained between the %‘s This method is used for REG_EXPAND_SZ.

For detail, see expandEnvironmentStrings Win32 API.

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 381
def self.expand_environ(str)
  str.gsub(Regexp.compile("%([^%]+)%".encode(str.encoding))) {
    v = $1.encode(LOCALE)
    (ENV[v] || ENV[v.upcase])&.encode(str.encoding) || $&
  }
end

new (hkey, parent, keyname, disposition)

def initialize(hkey, parent, keyname, disposition)
  @hkey = hkey
  @parent = parent
  @keyname = keyname
  @disposition = disposition
  @hkeyfinal = [ hkey ]
  ObjectSpace.define_finalizer self, @@final.call(@hkeyfinal)
end

open (hkey, subkey, desired = KEY_READ, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED) { |obj| ... }

— Registry.open(key, subkey, desired = KEY_READ, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED)

— Registry.open(key, subkey, desired = KEY_READ, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED) { |reg| … }

Open the registry key subkey under key. key is Win32::Registry object of parent key. You can use predefined key HKEY_* (see Constants) desired and opt is access mask and key option. For detail, see the MSDN. If block is given, the key is closed automatically.

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 435
def self.open(hkey, subkey, desired = KEY_READ, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED)
  subkey = subkey.chomp('\\')

      yield obj
    ensure
      obj.close
    end
  else

  end
end

end

Public Instance Methods

[] (name, *rtype)

Read a registry value named name and return its value data. The class of the value is the same as the read method returns.

If the value type is REG_EXPAND_SZ, returns value data whose environment variables are replaced. If the value type is neither REG_SZ, REG_MULTI_SZ, REG_DWORD, REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN, nor REG_QWORD, TypeError is raised.

The meaning of rtype is the same as for the read method.

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 685
def [](name, *rtype)
  type, data = read(name, *rtype)
  case type
  when REG_SZ, REG_DWORD, REG_QWORD, REG_MULTI_SZ
    data
  when REG_EXPAND_SZ
    Registry.expand_environ(data)
  else
    raise TypeError, "Type #{Registry.type2name(type)} is not supported."
  end
end

[]= (name, rtype, value = nil)

Write value to a registry value named name.

If wtype is specified, the value type is it. Otherwise, the value type is depend on class of value: :Integer

REG_DWORD

:String

REG_SZ

:Array

REG_MULTI_SZ

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 780
def []=(name, rtype, value = nil)
  if value
    write name, rtype, value
  else
    case value = rtype
    when Integer
      write name, REG_DWORD, value
    when String
      write name, REG_SZ, value
    when Array
      write name, REG_MULTI_SZ, value
    else
      raise TypeError, "Unexpected type #{value.class}"
    end
  end
  value
end

_dump (depth)

marshalling is not allowed

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 540
def _dump(depth)
  raise TypeError, "can't dump Win32::Registry"
end

close ()

Close key.

After close, most method raise an error.

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 563
def close
  API.CloseKey(@hkey)
  @hkey = @parent = @keyname = nil
  @hkeyfinal[0] = nil
end

create (subkey, desired = KEY_ALL_ACCESS, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED, &blk)

Same as Win32::Registry.create (self, subkey, desired, opt)

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 554
def create(subkey, desired = KEY_ALL_ACCESS, opt = REG_OPTION_RESERVED, &blk)
  self.class.create(self, subkey, desired, opt, &blk)
end

created? ()

Returns if key is created ((newly)). (see Registry.create) – basically you call create then when you call created? on the instance returned it will tell if it was successful or not

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 510
def created?
  @disposition == REG_CREATED_NEW_KEY
end

delete (name)

Alias for: delete_value

delete_key (name, recursive = false)

Delete a subkey named name and all its values.

If recursive is false, the subkey must not have subkeys. Otherwise, this method deletes all subkeys and values recursively.

# File ext/win32/lib/win32/registry.rb, line 843
def delete_key(name, recursive = false)
  if recursive
    open(name, KEY_ALL_ACCESS) do |reg|
      reg.keys.each do |key|
        begin
          reg.delete_key(key, true)
        rescue Error
          #
        end
      end
    end
    API.DeleteKey(@hkey, name)
  else
    begin
      API.EnumKey @hkey, 0
    rescue Error
      return API.DeleteKey(@hkey, name)
    end
    raise Error.new(5) ## ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
  end
end

  API.DeleteValue(@hkey, name)
end

Also aliased as: delete

each ()

subkey is String which contains name of subkey. wtime is last write time as FILETIME (64-bit integer). (see Registry.wtime2time)
