Registry Key for Validation Add-Ins

To be able to use a newly created add-in you must first add some information into the registry. It is useful to do this
as a first step, because afterwards you are already able to test the add-in while you write the program code.

Therefore Validation will use the following registry path (for version 3.2; for later versions replace this string by the
respective version):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODT-OCE\DOKuStarValidation\3.2\Addins

:

Under this registry key you must first specify for which application you want to add the add-in. Normally the
application you will use is the program file of DOKuStar Validation,

dsval.exe

. In this case you must create a key

DSVAL

. Alternatively you can specify the full path of the program file at this point. If the program resides in the

directory

c:\validation\bin

, then you could use

c:/validation/bin/DSVAL

as key name. The

key name is not case-sensitive.

For example, if you rename

dsval.exe

to

mydsval.exe

then you must use

MYDSVAL

for the key name.

Validation is looking into the registry and tries to match from right to left, not regarding the file name extension and
maybe a character

d

before the extension. So you are able to use the same entry for the release and debug version.

After creating the right sub-key under

Addins

- in our example now

DSVAL

- you must always create a sub-key

CLSID

. The key name is not case-sensitive.
