How can I specify the registry root (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, for example) that will be used in the SaveToRegistry method? It seems that this method uses HKEY_CURRENT_USER by default.

Hello Jordan,

Unfortunatelly, TRegistryIniFile which is used for saving settings into registry, set values under tha HKEY_CURRENT_USER root key. Maybe is there a way to change this, but I am not sure how

Best regards

Delphi provides a RootKey property in the TRegInitFile. You can set it immediately after the Create. You would need to have a second optional parameter in the call to SaveToRegistry to allow a non-default key to be specified. This line of code should work:

IniFile.RegIniFile.RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;

Thank you Jordan,

I will test it now, and add it into official release.

Hello Jordan,

Here is a new code:

CODE

  TNxCustomGridControl = class(TNxScrollControl)
.
.
.
    procedure SaveToRegistry(const KeyName: WideString; ID: string = ''; RootKey: HKEY = HKEY_CURRENT_USER);
.
.
.
procedure TNxCustomGridControl.SaveToRegistry(const KeyName: WideString;
  ID: string; RootKey: HKEY);
var
  IniFile: TRegistryIniFile;
begin
  try
    IniFile := TRegistryIniFile.Create(KeyName);
    IniFile.RegIniFile.RootKey := RootKey;
    SaveToIniFile(KeyName, IniFile, ID);
  finally
    FreeAndNil(IniFile);
  end;
end;

Thank you for your code tip. I hope that now it works as expected.

Best regards
