 * value of 100 is used when accessing the variable.

 * \code
 * regvalue = 200;                                              //stores the value 200 in the registry

 * \endcode
 * to avoid too much access to the registry the value is cached inside the object.
 * once the value is read, no more read accesses to the registry will be made.
 * this means the variable will contain a wrong value if the corresponding registry
 * entry is changed by anything else than this variable! If you think that could happen
 * then use 
 * \code
 * regvalue.read();
 * \endcode
 * to force a refresh of the variable with the registry.
 * a write to the registry is only made if the new value assigned with the variable
 * is different than the last assigned value.

 * CRect value in registry. with this class you can use CRect values in registry
 * almost like normal CRect variables in your program.
 * Usage:
 * in your header file, declare your registry CString variable:
 * \code
 * CRegRect regvalue;
 * \endcode
 * next initialize the variable e.g. in the constructor of your class:
 * \code
 * regvalue = CRegRect("Software\\Company\\SubKey\\MyValue", CRect(100,100,200,200));
 * \endcode
 * this will set the registry value "MyValue" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER with path 
 * "Software\Company\SubKey" to the variable. If the key does not yet exist or
 * an error occurred during read from the registry, a default
 * value of 100,100,200,200 is used when accessing the variable.
 * now the variable can be used like any other CRect variable:
 * \code
 * regvalue = CRect(40,20,300,500);                             //stores the value in the registry
 * CRect temp = regvalue + CPoint(1,1);
 * temp |= CSize(5,5);
 * \endcode
 * to use the normal methods of the CRect class, just typecast the CRegRect to a CRect
 * and do whatever you want with the rect:
 * \code
 * ((CRect)regvalue).MoveToX(100);
 * ((CRect)regvalue).DeflateRect(10,10);
 * \endcode
 * please be aware that in the second line the change in the CRect won't be written
 * to the registry! To force a write use the write() method. A write() is only needed
 * if you change the CRect with Methods not overloaded by CRegRect.
 * to avoid too much access to the registry the value is cached inside the object.
 * once the value is read, no more read accesses to the registry will be made.
 * this means the variable will contain a wrong value if the corresponding registry
 * entry is changed by anything else than this variable! If you think that could happen
 * then use 
 * \code
 * regvalue.read();
 * \endcode
 * to force a refresh of the variable with the registry.
 * a write to the registry is only made if the new value assigned with the variable
 * is different than the last assigned value.
 * to force a write use the method write();
 * another option to force reads and writes to the registry is to specify TRUE as the
 * third parameter in the constructor.
