Hi,
 
To create cleaner code add 2 members GetProfileInt and WriteProfileInt and call CXTRegistryManager + future SetRegistryKey + reg.GetProfileInt/reg.WriteProfileInt .

Hi,

 
1. its easy to emulate it:
 
int nValue = reg.GetProfileInt("Settings", "Value", -1);
if (nValue == -1) reg.WriteProfileInt("Settings", "Value", 0), nValue = 0;

Suggestion #1
Sometimes you want registry keys to always be present in the registry. This makes it easier for users to edit some special settings!
 
I think you should have an extra parameter in the CXTRegistryManager constructor:
 
BOOL bPersistentValues = TRUE;
CXTRegistryManager reg(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, bPersistentValues);
int value = reg.GetProfileInt("Settings", "Value", 0);
 
After the call to GetProfileInt, the key/value will be created, hence readable by a user!
 
This behavior is disencouraged most of the time, so the second parameter should default to FALSE!
 
Suggestion #2
Also, I think it should be possible to set the registry key and profile name directly in the constructor. We have multiple products accessing each other's profiles, and it would be very convenient if you could type the following:
 
CXTRegistryManager reg(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, TRUE);
and a second constructor:
CXTRegistryManager reg(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "RegistryKey", "ProfileName", TRUE);
 
The code gets bloated if you need to call SetRegistryKey (or similar) all the time!
