IMSAdminBase::DeleteChildKeys

  • Article

The IMSAdminBase::DeleteChildKeys deletes all subkeys of the specified key and any data they contain. It also recursively deletes all keys below the subkeys.

HRESULT DeleteChildKeys(
      METADATA_HANDLE hMDHandle,
      LPCWSTR pszMDPath
);

Parameters

  • hMDHandle
    Specifies a handle with write permissions, as returned by the IMSAdminBase::OpenKey method. METADATA_MASTER_ROOT_HANDLE is not valid for this operation.

  • pszMDPath
    Points to a string that contains the path of the key whose subkeys are to be deleted, relative to the path of hMDHandle. For example, if the handle references the /LM key, you could use the path /W3SVC to specify the Web services subkey. In this case, all subkeys below /LM/W3SVC would be deleted.
