[Registry Preview] Enhanced preview windows for value data

[htcfreek]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Currently you only have the value data preview in the data grid cell and #36631 implements a tool tip to have a better preview (especially for multi line data).

I would be great to have a button in the cell to show a content dialog with a read only text box. That supports copy paste the text form the preview and would be more accessibility conform.

Scenario when this would be used?

When previewing registry value data and especially for REG_MULTI_SZ.

Supporting information

• The text box has to support line breaks only for REG_MULTI_SZ.
• Preview of REG_BINARY needs a special control or at least a text box with formatted content.
• To align the preview of REG-Binary with Regedit we need to convert the value to upper case.

Can we use the HexBox.WinUI control for showing binary values in the project? Or is there any organizational or law reason against using it?

• Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/HexBox.WinUI
• Traget frameworks: .Net 6 and .Net 8

@niels9001 what is your thoughts. I’m not opposed. Simple enough to maybe add to notice.md and just consume the control in the app?

Yup, makes sense to me!

Great news. Unfortunately there is no built in control like in Win Forms. (Made a suggestion in Community Toolkit discussions.)

Do we need to check the license of all the dependencies?
