CeRegDeleteKey (RAPI) (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
This function deletes a subkey from the specified registry key on a remote Windows Embedded CE–based device. The subkey to be deleted cannot have any subkeys.
Syntax
LONG CeRegDeleteKey(
HKEY hKey,
LPCWSTR lpszSubKey
);
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 Value
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 or CeRegOpenKeyEx function.
