| Description: |
It was noted that just setting the environment vars in the registry won't propagate them to the current system (a relogon is required). You must broadcase a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message, as noted in this howto and url: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN- US;q104011 http://www.toflidium.com/citydesk/articles/docs/fog00000 00016.html Attached is the 'registry broadcast' command implementation to do this, with docs and tests. | |||

Logged In: YES user_id=72656 The sub-packages have a history of being rev'ed between releases. This goes into the debate of the value of tieing the core to packages, which I won't do here. dkf added on 2002-10-21 15:41:09: Logged In: YES user_id=79902 Should such a change (new script-level API) go into a patch release? Should such a change to something distributed as part of the core go in without a TIP? After all, the registry package is listed as part of TIP#16 (unlike the thread extension.) hobbs added on 2002-10-19 07:00:28: Logged In: YES user_id=72656 Added for 8.4.1, up'ed reg to v1.1. hobbs added on 2002-10-19 06:54:45: File Deleted - 33420: File Added - 33421: regbroadcast.patch.3 Logged In: YES user_id=72656 one more update with more/better tests. tested on Win2K and Win98. hobbs added on 2002-10-19 06:48:39: File Deleted - 33419: File Added - 33420: regbroadcast.patch.2 Logged In: YES user_id=72656 updated patch to remove unnecessary Tcl_WinUtfToTchar conversion. hobbs added on 2002-10-19 06:07:24: File Added - 33419: regbroadcast.patch | |||
