IRegistryKey::QueryValueKey method (portcls.h)

  • Artikel

The QueryValueKey method retrieves information about a registry key's value entries, including their names, types, data sizes, and values.

Syntax

NTSTATUS QueryValueKey(
  [in]  PUNICODE_STRING             ValueName,
  [in]  KEY_VALUE_INFORMATION_CLASS KeyValueInformationClass,
  [out] PVOID                       KeyValueInformation,
  [in]  ULONG                       Length,
  [out] PULONG                      ResultLength
);

Parameters

[in] ValueName

Pointer to the manufacturer-supplied name of the value entry. The name string is specified by a structure of type UNICODE_STRING.

[in] KeyValueInformationClass

Specifies the type of information to be returned in the buffer. Set this parameter to one of the following KEY_VALUE_INFORMATION_CLASS enumeration values:

  • KeyValueBasicInformation
  • KeyValueFullInformation
  • KeyValuePartialInformation

[out] KeyValueInformation

Pointer to a caller-allocated buffer into which the method writes the requested data. The buffer contains a structure of type KEY_VALUE_BASIC_INFORMATION, KEY_VALUE_FULL_INFORMATION, or KEY_VALUE_PARTIAL_INFORMATION, depending on the value of KeyValueInformationClass. The structure is followed by additional data whose size depends on the data type of the key value.

[in] Length

Size in bytes of the KeyValueInformation buffer, which the caller must set according to the given KeyValueInformationClass. To receive all the requested data, the buffer must be at least as large as the size of the requested data.

[out] ResultLength

Output pointer for the length of the resulting data. This parameter points to a caller-allocated ULONG variable into which the method writes a count specifying the number of bytes actually written into the KeyValueInformation buffer. If the specified buffer length is too small to contain the information, however, the method instead outputs the required buffer size and returns STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW or STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. For more information, see the following Remarks section.

Return value

QueryValueKey returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the call was successful in copying the requested information to the KeyValueInformation buffer. If the specified buffer size is too small to receive all of the requested information, the method returns STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW. If the specified buffer size is too small to receive any of the requested information, the method returns STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. Otherwise, the method returns an appropriate error status code. The following table shows some of the possible error codes.

Return code Description
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
 Indicates that one of the parameters passed to the method is not valid.
STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND
 Indicates that the value entry with the specified name was not found.

Remarks

If the KeyValueInformation buffer is too small to hold the requested information, the method writes the required size to *ResultLength and returns a status code of either STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW or STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. The method returns STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW if it succeeded in writing only part of the requested information to the buffer. The method returns STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL if it was unable to write any information to the buffer. The value written to *ResultLength indicates the minimum buffer size required to hold all the requested information.
