Using QWORD data type in registry

**WojTec**

Guys, how to write/read QWORD (Delphi.Int64) values to registry? Standard method support 32-bit values, how about 64-bit ones?

**Luckie**

I would try to store it as binary data.

**WojTec**

As REG_BINARY? Not bad idea, but I thought about REG_QWORD type. Windows registry support it.

**Luckie**

And what's the problem now?

**WojTec**

Because I'm asking about REG_QWORD and still don't know how to use it

**Luckie**

Does the TRegistry class support it?

**WojTec**

As I know - is not supported by TRegistry.
This is reason I'm asking.

**Luckie**

Well, than you have to use the raw Win API functions.

**WojTec**

Gosh, tell me something I don't know, please, please.
I know I need registry API, but I don't know how

There is RegSetValueEx(), there isn't RED_QWORD const.
