Remarks

Registry

ProjectInfo is used to find out the path of registry directory where the information regarding the application will be stored.
In test mode, this path has the following format:
  • In WINDEV: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PC SOFT\WinDev\29.0\TestMode\Project name
  • In WEBDEV: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PC SOFT\WebDev\29.0\TestMode\Project name
  • In WINDEV Mobile: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PC SOFT\WINDEV Mobile\29.0\TestMode\Project name
At runtime (from an executable), this path has the following format:
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\APPLICATIONS_WINDEV\Executable name: if no company name and no version were specified when creating the executable.
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Company Name\Executable name: if a company name was specified when creating the executable (with no version number).
Reminder: To create an executable, go to the "Project" tab, "Generation" group, click "Generate".
WINDEVUser code (UMC)

Information automatically saved in the registry

WINDEV allows you to automatically save the different application parameters:
  • Size and position of the window ("Details" tab of the window description)
  • Size and position of table columns ("Details" tab in the description of Table control, "Store the column configuration")
  • Size and position of a Toolbar control ("Details" tab in the description window).
This information is saved in the registry, in the information regarding the application (known with the piRegistry constant).
To reinitialize the parameters of the application (in the initialization code of the application for example), you must:
  1. Find the registry key corresponding to the application. This information is returned by ProjectInfo.
  2. Delete this registry key (RegistryDeleteKey).
For example:
ProjectConfig is string = ProjectInfo(piRegistry)
RegistryDeleteKey(ProjectConfig)
WINDEV

Webservice

When used in a webservice created with WINDEV, ProjectInfo always returns an empty string ("").
