Problem with registry key
«
on:
November 12, 2019, 03:16:11 pm »
I would like to control with Lazarus the screen resolution. I tried this code:
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
reg
:
=
Tregistry
.
Create
(
KEY_READ
)
;
reg
.
RootKey
:
=
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
;
reg
.
OpenKeyReadOnly
(
key
)
;
If the key is
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
the key is opened successfully and key names and key values are obtained correctly. But if I try the key
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration
(only 'Configuration' added) the OpenKeyReadOnly returns false. Putting backslash before 'SYSTEM' doesn’t help. What am I doing wrong? (W10, Lazarus 2.0.6)

TRegistry
has
LastError
and
LastErrorMsg
properties. What do they report when
OpenKeyReadOnly()
returns false? Chances are, either the key really does not exist, or you simply don't have permission to access it.

You are right, 5 - Access is denied. Running as administrator solves problem. Thank you.
