RegistryKeyMBS.CopyTree(keyname as string, Dest as RegistryKeyMBS) as boolean

Returns true on success and false on failure.

RegistryKeyMBS.CreateKey(name as string, Use64bitRegistry as boolean = false) as RegistryKeyMBS

If the key is allready present it is just opened.
Returns a registry key or nil on any error.

Use64bitRegistry: Pass true to create key in 64 bit view of the Registry instead of 32 bit view.

Some examples using this method:

• /Win/Windows Registry Test

RegistryKeyMBS.Delete(keyname as string) as boolean

Windows 95: The Delete function deletes a subkey and all its descendants.
Windows NT: The Delete function deletes the specified subkey. The subkey to be deleted must not have subkeys.

With plugin version 3.2 the NT behavior is worked around to match the Windows 95 behavior. So all sub keys are deleted!

RegistryKeyMBS.DeleteTree(keyname as string) as boolean

dim t as RegistryKeyMBS = RegistryMBS.CurrentUser

// create some keys
dim n as RegistryKeyMBS = t.CreateKey("Hello")
dim w as RegistryKeyMBS = n.CreateKey("World")


w.Value("Test").asString = "Hello"

break // see in regedit

// delete it
if t.DeleteTree("Hello") then
  MsgBox "deleted. ok"
else
  MsgBox "delete failed"
end if

Returns true on success and false on failure.
