IRegistryKey.ReadDateTime

Syntax

ReadDateTime(ValueName: String): DateTime;

Parameters

ValueName. Name of the parameter, which value must be obtained.

Description

The ReadDateTime method reads date and time from binary parameter in the registry without checking parameter availability.

Comments

If the parameter with the ValueName name does not exist, an exception is thrown.

Example

Executing the example requires that the registry subkey [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyProject\Params] contains a binary parameter with the Param1 name with value of date and time stored in it.

Add a link to the Registry system assembly.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    RegKey, SubKey: IRegistryKey;
    d: DateTime;
Begin
    RegKey := RegistryClass.CurrentUser;
    SubKey := RegKey.OpenSubKey("Software\MyProject\Params", False);
    If SubKey.ValueExists("Param1") Then
        d := SubKey.ReadDateTime("Param1");
    End If;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the Param1 parameter is searched in the specified registry subkey. If the parameter exists, the value of date and time contained in this parameter is read into the "d" variable.
