Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ wxRegConfig()

wxRegConfig::wxRegConfig ( const wxString appName = wxEmptyString,
const wxString vendorName = wxEmptyString,
const wxString localFilename = wxEmptyString,
const wxString globalFilename = wxEmptyString,
long  style = wxCONFIG_USE_GLOBAL_FILE 
)

The wxRegConfig constructor.

For more info see the docs for the wxConfigBase::wxConfigBase() constructor.

Note that wxRegConfig's style argument defaults to wxCONFIG_USE_GLOBAL_FILE, i.e. to the use of the HKLM key (also known as "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE").
