BIB and REG Editor (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

In Windows Embedded Compact, you can use the BIB/REG Editor to directly view, modify, and save binary image builder (.bib) and registry (.reg) files. Access to the editor is much like that of other editors in the Visual Studio development environment.

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

When viewing a registry file in the editor, the BIB/REG Editor displays the contents of the file in a hierarchical tree format.

You can choose to create a new key or value from the context menu, or you can choose to delete an existing key or value. To edit the values for existing keys or values, from the context menu, choose Properties.

For information about the .reg file format, see Registry File.
