There are a number of functions to
set and retrieve registry entries in the UPDD branch. See the individual calls
for more information.

Extended get String setting |

Some of these API's perform special processing that may be extended in
future releases. For example, for TBApiSetSettingSZEx,
if the aName argument is set to "Calibration Style" and aSubtree
equals "", the indicated style (in argument aSZ) is activated. e.g.
for calibration styles - use aSubTree = "" to emulate the
"non-extended" versions
The
following example shows the settings that make up a typical UPDD subtree:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TBUPDD\ ->
...\{....}\Parameters\1\Number Of Calibration Styles - item count
...\{....}\Parameters\1\Calibration Style - active item name
...\{....}\Parameters\1\Calibration Styles\0\Calibration Style - item
name
...\{....}\Parameters\1\Calibration Styles\0\... - other item data
These calls
work exactly the same in all OS environments. In Windows they access the
registry whereas in other operating systems they access the files holding the
registry structure.
