QSettings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

[Roy44]

Hi,

I would like to access to a key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node in 64bits
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE in 32bits

I have to set the entire path in QSettings or use an enum ?

thanks.
(sorry for my english)

IIRC this should be handled by QSettings automatically:

QSettings settings("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Node", QSettings::NativeFormat); // will be mapped automatically to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Wow6432Node\\Node" in 64bit

@raven-worx said in QSettings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:

QSettings settings("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Node", QSettings::NativeFormat);

The directory I try to access is :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MediaSofts\JardiCad

I try
QSettings test("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MediaSofts\JardiCad",QSettings::NativeFormat);
QStringList qlkeys = test.allKeys();

but it does not work, qlkeys is empty.

QSettings("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\MediaSofts\\JardiCad", QSettings::NativeFormat)
does not work.
I'm on Qt 5.9.1

Ok It works only if I compile in 32bits
