property RootKey: HKEY;This property allows the user to specify the registry root key under which the window size, position and state information is recorded. The information is saved in a subkey of this root key determined by the SubKey property. If RootKey is set to an invalid HKEY value an exception is raised. Valid values are:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = $80000000;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER = $80000001;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = $80000002;
HKEY_USERS = $80000003;
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA = $80000004;
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG = $80000005;
HKEY_DYN_DATA = $80000006;These values are defined in the Windows unit.
The property defaults to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Note: The registry root key can also be specified by handling OnGetRegData or OnGetRegDataEx [~>5.6] events. If this is done then the value of RootKey is ignored.
The RootKeyEx [>5.6] property provides an alternative way of setting the registry root key. Instead of taking an HKEY value it takes a value from the TPJRegRootKey [>5.6] enumeration, making it impossible to specify an invalid value.
RootKeyEx [~>5.6] also makes it easier and safer to set values in Delphi's Object Inspector since the required value is selected from a list.
Setting RootKey changes the value of RootKeyEx [~>5.6] and vice versa.
