This uses the native registry support for 64-bit values available since
Windows XP.
Note that SetValue64() can't be just called SetValue() as this would
introduce ambiguities when writing an int or an enum to the registry.
This could be avoided by providing overloads for all the arithmetic
types, but it's arguably better to be more clear about what exactly is
being written to the registry in this low-level class and using a
different name is definitely simpler.
All OLE-related classes and enums were described
in interface header msw/ole/automatn.h which led
to incorrectly listed include files in the generated
documentation for those classes and enum that
were actually declared in different include header files.
The documentation in the interface files has now been
split into files with names matching the actual include files.
Closes#18536
Improve the class description.
Mention that one needs to call wxAutomationObject::SetConvertVariantFlags()
with wxOleConvertVariant_ReturnSafeArrays to actually receive a
wxVariant with SAFEARRAY (if possible).
Make better use of now-documented wxSafeArray in the code examples.
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1611
Adobe have announced the official EOL for flash is 2020 so we're
now at the point where support for flash just isn't interesting
any more.
It doesn't make sense to support it for the upcoming 3.2.x release
series, and the sample .swf files are lacking source code.
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1427Closes#15886.
No real changes, just clean up sources by removing trailing spaces from
all the non-generated files.
This should hopefully avoid future commits mixing significant changes
with insignificant whitespace ones.
Reverts r78136 (see #15727) because the multi-string values in Windows
registry are actually not "name=value" pairs at all but just NUL-separated
strings and the API provided for reading them was inappropriate.
Also see #16719.

While we can't change the type of wxVariant to which SAFEARRAYs are converted
by default, it's much more convenient to work with the variant objects of the
correct type, i.e. using wxVariantDataSafeArray, when dealing with SAFEARRAYs,
so add a flag which can be set to tell a wxAutomationObject to behave in this
way.
Closes#14700.

This keyword is not expanded by Git which means it's not replaced with the
correct revision value in the releases made using git-based scripts and it's
confusing to have lines with unexpanded "$Id$" in the released files. As
expanding them with Git is not that simple (it could be done with git archive
and export-subst attribute) and there are not many benefits in having them in
the first place, just remove all these lines.
If nothing else, this will make an eventual transition to Git simpler.
Closes#14487.

Many classes were documented as being in a wrong library, mostly a lot of
wxbase vs wxcore confusion but we even managed to document wxAuiManager as
being in wxbase. Correct all this.

Add a new wxSafeArray<> class wrapping SAFEARRAY.
Also add support for converting VARIANTs containing other, previously
unsupported, standard types.

Default user-locale-dependent LCID may be inappropriate for some situations,
notably Microsoft Excel uses localized formula names for non-English LCIDs.
So add a way to change the LCID to use at wxAutomationObject level while
preserving the old behaviour by default.
Closes#14540.

This method is currently called HasSubkeys() and not HasSubKeys() even though
the latter would have been more consistent with HasSubKey() so we might
consider renaming it in the future. But for now just fix the documentation.
Closes#13998.

Applied patch by snowleopard2 fixing a bunch of typos such as misspellings and double words in the documentation. Combined the patch with some local queued typos waiting to be committed as well as adding new typo fixes inspired by the patch.
Function names with American spelling were not changed nor was third-party code touched. The only code changes involve some changes in strings that are translated ("Can not" -> "Cannot").
Closes#13063 (again).

This flag allows to suppress the error message in case there are no currently
running instances of this object and can be useful if the caller doesn't know
in advance whether it's available or not.

Don't check for the key existence, it ought to exist if we create it like
this.
Also don't allocate wxRegKey object on the heap unnecessarily.

When getting an instance of an OLE automation object, it is often useful to
connect to the existing instance if any or start a new one otherwise. Make
GetInstance() behave like this by default while still allowing to use the
wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly flag to reestablish the old behaviour.
Also improve the error reporting in wxAutomationObject.
See #12489.

CLSID was used instead of ProgID in several places in the code and the
documentation but they are different things so clear up the confusion.

Use "wxWindows licence" and not "wxWidgets licence" (the latter doesn't
exist) and consistently spell "licence" using British spelling.

Implement compatibility aliases for non-prefixed macro names.
Require a final semicolon where possible.
Correct a recurring error in the docs: IMPLEMENT/DECLARE_CLASS are alias to the DYNAMIC macros, not to the ABSTRACT macros.

Empty value refers to the default or unnamed key in Win32 API but this may be
not clear to people unused to it so mention this explicitly.
