Initial collection of source files for Registry Preview, including integration into the PowerToys launcher, settings, and OOBE.

Summary of the Pull Request

This is the initial drop of source for a new applet/utility that allows a user to open a .REG file in a graphically based preview of what it would look like when imported into the Registry. It also gives you a live preview, if you make changes to values in the display text file.

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

There are two .REG files in the Utils directory that are handy for manual installation (or for adding to an installer.) When imported into the local Registry, it will change the context menu in Windows for .REG files, adding (or removing) a "Preview" menu item. Alternatively, after installing an APPX/APPXBUNDLE, the application can be run from the Start Menu.

Note: exporting an entire top-level branch will generate a large file (~80MB in some cases) which most apps choke, including this one!

Validation Steps Performed

This was tested manually and extensively, using various .REG files found online or exported from the local Registry on many different machines.

Can't speak to either of the others, but "Previewer" is part of the app: with a REG file open, if you make changes in the text box, the Registry "view" will stay in sync with the text changes, giving you a live and updated preview.

454 files changed look wrong here. Some bad merge probably. Can you try merging the latest main into this PR?

454 files changed look wrong here. Some bad merge probably. Can you try merging the latest main into this PR?

I've been pulling in changes from upstream every week or two, since I started the PR, back in January. It very well could be 454 files, given:

It started with my new source, for the app itself.
Added the integration bits to the launcher UI, including making a settings page
Adapted to all of the other changes since January, e.g. requiring all C-style casting to be removed in lieu of static_ or dymanic_cast which had a lot of changes across many files.

I'll do another upsteam fetch in a little bit, recompile and update the PR.

Mar 08 '23 17:03 randyrants

@stefansjfw Update complete, as of Mar-8 - now up to 468.

I took a look and there's a ton of stuff that came in from upstream:

Updates to all the proj files, removing explicit version numbers
Casting changes (as called out above)
Main added two new projects (MouseZoom and Paste as Plain Text)
Other apps took updates (FancyZones looks like it was busy)

If there's something I can do to help ease the changes, lemme know. Up to now, the PR's I've been in have been closed pretty quickly and/or were atomic.

@randyrants The problem was with the target branch for the PR, I changed it to microsoft/main. Now it looks ok, I'll start with the review now

I pushed a few fixes for analyzer warnings. Also, I can help with adding RegistryPreview to the installer.

I gave it a quick test. Looks very useful. :) At the moment I see a crash when trying to launch the app from OOBE via "Launch Registry Preview" button.

This one is on me: I was trying to get the text to be grey when ReadOnly and was setting it to Colors.Black. Going to find a way to get the theme-based Foreground color for text and will update the source.

Check out the new WinUI 3 Gallery, under Design Guidance => Colors => Text. The TextFillSecondaryBrush is probably what you are looking for!

Check out the new WinUI 3 Gallery, under Design Guidance => Colors => Text. The TextFillSecondaryBrush is probably what you are looking for!

It's actually due to new design cues versus what I wanted it to do: I wanted the read only to be visually changed in some way and [currently] ReadOnly TextBoxes are supposed to look the same as editable TextBoxes. If I disable it, it goes grey like I wanted, but then it's also, well, disabled, which I didn't like either. The challenge now is how to load a StaticDynamicResource or DynamicResource via the code and toggle it there. I saw something in a wicked old XAML example but lost it and not even sure if it would make sense to use it.

For now, it's fixed, in at least it supports the grey I wanted and the Light/Dark themes.

I haven't tested it yet, but what happens when the file isn't properly formatted? And what happens when the version is lower then 5.00?

Mar 18 '23 20:03 Aaron-Junker

I haven't tested it yet, but what happens when the file isn't properly formatted? And what happens when the version is lower then 5.00?

As far as coding goes, it looks for 4 and 5, but I have not done a lot of testing on 4 - if memory serves that pre-dates XP and supporting REG files from Windows 2000 or earlier didn't feel like much of a priority.

If a file is not formatted well when you open the file, it should be able to recognize that and throw up an error message. If you're starting a new REG file from scratch, it will allow you to do so, but it "guide" you on how to create a new one. I mean, the Tree and table o' values will try to update as you type, but it will only snap to, once a line is complete: while you're actively typing, it won't be happy until the last " is in the row or you have a dword: or hex: as needed.

More of a Previewer of existing REG files rather than full-on creator of new files.

Yeah.. for UWP/WinUI DynamicResource won't work. You can use {ThemeResource ..} to get brushes that will change with the theme, and {StaticResource ..} for resources that are.. static 😁.

@randyrants Awesome job with new feature! There are a few UI tweaks here and there but I'm happy to tackle those later after this gets in! Same for the icon! Exciting 🚀🚀🚀😁!
