CeRegDeleteKey (RAPI) (Windows CE 5.0)
This function deletes a named subkey from the specified registry key. The subkey to be deleted cannot have any subkeys.
CeRegDeleteKey is a remote application programming interface (RAPI), which enables an application running on a desktop computer to make function calls on a Windows CE–based device.
A Windows CE registry API version of this function exists, and it is called RegDeleteKey.
LONGCeRegDeleteKey( HKEYhKey, LPCWSTRlpszSubKey);
Parameters
hKey
[in] Handle to a currently open key or one of the following predefined reserved handle values:- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
- HKEY_USERS
The key specified by the lpSubKey parameter must be a subkey of the key identified by hKey.
lpszSubKey
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string specifying the name of the key to delete. This parameter cannot be NULL.
Return Values
ERROR_SUCCESS indicates success. A nonzero error code defined in Winerror.h indicates failure. To get a generic description of the error, call FormatMessage with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag set.
Remarks
If the function succeeds, CeRegDeleteKey removes the specified key from the registry. The entire key, including all of its values, is removed. An application cannot call CeRegDeleteKey for a key that an application currently has open.
To open the key, use the CeRegCreateKeyEx (RAPI) or CeRegOpenKeyEx (RAPI) function.
