Bib and Reg Editor Window (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
In Windows Embedded Compact, you can use the Bib/Reg text editor to view, modify, and save binary image builder (.bib) and registry (.reg) files. To display the editor, open the .bib or .reg file (File > Open > File…).
To customize the options for the Bib/Reg editor, in the left pane of the Options Dialog Box select and expand the Text Editor node, and then expand the Bib/Reg child node. This provides you with two categories of configuration options: General and Tabs.
Binary Image Builder Files
When viewing a .bib file in the editor, Platform Builder displays the contents in a text editor. Additional features that can provide assistance when you are viewing and modifying a .bib file include syntax highlighting and IntelliSense. For more information, see the Visual Studio documentation.
For information about the .bib file format, see Binary Image Builder (.bib) File.
Registry Files
The Bib/Reg editor provides two tabbed pages for .reg files labeled RegEdit and Source. The Source page provides a text editor view of the file. The RegEdit view has two panes. The left pane shows the registry keys in a hierarchy. The right pane shows the values of the key that you select in the left pane. To delete a key, or to create a value or subkey for it, right-click on it and select the appropriate shortcut. To rename a key, select it and change the name in the Properties window. To modify or delete a value, right-click on its name in the right pane and select the appropriate option. If you right-click elsewhere in the right pane you can select a shortcut to create a new value.
For information about the .reg file format, see Registry File.
