Introduction

How many times have you had to edit the registry on a Pocket PC device and became frustrated because there was no registry editor on the device?. The remote registry editor was time consuming and also not available on a non-development platform such as a customer or a user site. So here I have developed a modest registry editor for the Pocket PC. I have been able to compile and test this on the Compaq IPAQ and HP Jornada. I feel the code should compile for other Pocket PC devices. If at all, only minor modifications might be required.

The application has a similar UI to the standard registry editor (regedit) available on the Windows platform. The actual code to read the registry entry and display the values is performed in reditview.cpp. It is standard Win32 registry API and the code is mostly self explanatory.
