module Fox # # The registry maintains a database of persistent settings for an application. # The settings database is organized in two groups of three layers each. The # system-wide settings group contains settings information pertaining to all # users on a system. The per-user settings group contains settings affecting # that user only. # Each settings group contains a desktop layer, which comprises the settings # which affect all FOX programs, a vendor layer which holds settings that # affect all applications from that vendor (e.g. a application-suite), and # an application layer which holds settings only for a single application. # The vendor-key and application-key determine which files these layers come # from, while the "Desktop" key is used for all FOX applications. # Settings in the system-wide group are overwritten by the per-user group, # and settings from the "Desktop" layer are overwritten by the vendor-layer; # vendor-layer settings are overwritten by the application-layer settings. # Only the per-user, per-application settings ever gets written; the layers # in the system-group only get written during installation and configuration # of the application. # The registry is read when FXApp::init() is called, and written back to the # system when FXApp::exit() is called. # class FXRegistry < FXSettings # Application key [String] attr_reader :appKey # Vendor key [String] attr_reader :vendorKey # Use file-based registry instead of Windows Registry [Boolean] attr_writer :asciiMode # # Construct registry object; _appKey_ and _vendorKey_ must be string constants. # Regular applications SHOULD set a vendor key! # def initialize(appKey="", vendorKey="") ; end # # Read registry. # def read; end # # Write registry. # def write; end # # Return +true+ if we're using a file-based registry mechanism instead of the Windows Registry # (only relevant on Windows systems). # def asciiMode?; end end end
