Catalin 71ad2d64ef Remove obsolete symbols and platforms from the documentation
Don't mention pre-XP Windows versions and other obsolete platforms such as
OS/2 and the symbols which were only useful for them.

/**
@class wxRegKey
wxRegKey is a class representing the Windows registry (it is only available
under Windows). One can create, query and delete registry keys using this
class.
The Windows registry is easy to understand. There are five registry keys,
namely:
@li @c HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR)
@li @c HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU)
@li @c HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)
@li @c HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (HKCC)
@li @c HKEY_USERS (HKU)
After creating a key, it can hold a value. The values can be:
@li String Value
@li Binary Value
@li DWORD Value
@li Multi String Value
@li Expandable String Value
@onlyfor{wxmsw}
@b Example:
@code
// This assume that the key already exists, use HasSubKey() to check
// for the key existence if necessary.
wxRegKey key(wxRegKey::HKLM, "Software\\MyKey");
// Create a new value "MyValue" and set it to 12.
key.SetValue("MyValue", 12);
// Read the value back.
long value;
key.QueryValue("MyValue", &value);
wxMessageBox(wxString::Format("%d", value), "Registry Value", wxOK);
// Get the number of subkeys and enumerate them.
size_t subkeys;
key.GetKeyInfo(&subkeys, NULL, NULL, NULL);
wxString key_name;
key.GetFirstKey(key_name, 1);
for(int i = 0; i < subkeys; i++)
{
wxMessageBox(key_name, "Subkey Name", wxOK);
key.GetNextKey(key_name, 1);
}
