CeRegCloseKey (RAPI) (Windows CE 5.0)
This function releases the handle of the specified key.
CeRegCloseKey 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 RegCloseKey.
LONGCeRegCloseKey( HKEYhKey);
Parameters
- hKey
[in] Handle to the open key to close.
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
The handle for a specified key should not be used after it has been closed, because it will no longer be valid. Key handles should not be left open any longer than necessary.
The CeRegCloseKey function always writes information to the registry before returning, eliminating the need to flush keys in the Windows CE registry.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE 2.0 and later.
Header: Rapi.h.
Link Library: Rapi.lib.
