Creates a new key in the registry.
function CreateKey(const Key: string): Boolean;
__fastcall Boolean CreateKey(const AnsiString Key);
Use CreateKey to add a new key to the registry. Key is the name of the key to create. Key can be an absolute or relative name. An absolute key begins with a backslash (\) and is a subkey of the root key. A relative key is a subkey of the current key.
CreateKey returns true if key creation is successful. On error, an exception is raised. Attempting to create a key that already exists has no effect.
CreateKey creates only non-volatile keys. If you need to create volatile keys on Windows NT, you must call the Windows API directly.
CreateKey creates keys with a security access of KEY_ALL_ACCESS. If you need to create keys with more restricted access, you must call the Windows API directly.
A key created by CreateKey has no values. To set key values, use the WriteCurrency, WriteBinaryData, WriteBool, WriteDate, WriteDateTime, WriteFloat, WriteInteger, WriteString, or WriteTime procedures.
