TRegistry on Linux
lazarus / 32-Linux

This has been previously answered, TRegistry is multi platform and on
Linux is supposed to use reg.xml file inside .config/appname/ folder.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me for some reason. Doing strace I
do see that the file is being checked:
access("/home/as/.config/test/reg.xml", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)

However it's never created and creating it by hand with touch does
nothing, the file never gets written to.

Am I doing something wrong in the code?

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i   Cfg :=
TRegistry.Create(KEY_READ Or KEY_WRITE);  Cfg.RootKey :=
HKEY_CURRENT_USER;  if Cfg.OpenKey('Software\\Tenox\\test\\',True)
then  begin     Cfg.WriteBool('TestVal', "foo");  end

Hello tenox,
Welcome to the forum.

This code works on my test on my Linux computer:
(I really saw the reg.xml was created)

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
TForm1.SaveRegistry(Sender: TObject);var  Cfg: TRegistry;begin  Cfg :=
TRegistry.Create(KEY_READ Or KEY_WRITE);  Cfg.RootKey :=
HKEY_CURRENT_USER;  if Cfg.OpenKey('Software\\Tenox\test\\',True)
then  begin     Cfg.WriteString('TestVal', 'foo');  end; 
Cfg.Free;end;

(why all the double backslashes?)

As you can see handoko frees the class which might be the trigger to
write. You can also do cfg.flush; to force a write without closing.

Thank you. There is no flush method on this but free worked. Thanks
for help!
