NKRegSetValueExW (Compact 2013)

  • Artigo

10/16/2014

This function stores data in the value field of an open registry key. It can also set additional value and type information for the specified key.

Syntax

LONG NKRegSetValueExW(
  HKEY hKey, 
  LPCWSTR lpValueName, 
  DWORD dwReserved, 
  DWORD dwType, 
  LPBYTE lpData, 
  DWORD cbData
);

Parameters

  • hKey
    [in] Handle to an open key or any of the following predefined reserved handle values:

    • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    • HKEY_USERS

  • lpValueName
    [in] Pointer to a string that contains the name of the value to set.

    If a value with this name is not present in the key, the function adds it to the key.

    If this parameter is set to NULL or an empty string, the function sets the type and data for the key's unnamed value.

    Registry keys do not have default values, but they can have one unnamed value, which can be of any type.

    The maximum length of a value name is 255, not including the terminating NULL character.

  • dwReserved
    [in] Reserved; must be 0 (zero).

  • dwType
    [in] Type of information to be stored as the value's data.

    The following table shows possible values.

    Value

    Description

    REG_BINARY

    Specifies binary data in any form.

    REG_DWORD

    Specifies a 32-bit number.

    REG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN

    Specifies a 32-bit number in little-endian format. This is equivalent to REG_DWORD.

    In little-endian format, a multibyte value is stored in memory from the lowest byte (the little end) to the highest byte.

    For example, the value 0x12345678 is stored as (0x78 0x56 0x34 0x12).

    REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN

    Specifies a 32-bit number in big-endian format.

    In big-endian format, a multibyte value is stored in memory from the highest byte (the big end) to the lowest byte.

    For example, the value 0x12345678 is stored as (0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78).

    REG_EXPAND_SZ

    Specifies a null-terminated string that contains unexpanded references to environment variables (for example, %PATH%).

    REG_LINK

    Specifies a Unicode symbolic link.

    Used internally; applications should not use this type.

    REG_MULTI_SZ

    Specifies an array of null-terminated strings, terminated by two null characters.

    REG_NONE

    Specifies no defined value type.

    REG_RESOURCE_LIST

    Specifies a device-driver resource list.

    REG_SZ

    Specifies a null-terminated Unicode string.

    Do not use the REG_SZ type to store hard-coded paths to the system root.
  • lpData
    [in] Pointer to a buffer that contains the data to store with the specified value name.

  • cbData
    [in] Size, in bytes, of the information that lpData points to.

    If the data is of type REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ, or REG_MULTI_SZ, cbData must include the size of the terminating null character.

    The maximum size of data allowed is 4 KB.

Return Value

The following table shows the possible return values.

Value

Description

ERROR_SUCCESS
