This function opens a service and retrieves a nested subkey for the supplied registry key.

Syntax

HRESULT CeSvcOpenEx( 
  HCESVC hSvcRoot, 
  LPTSTR pszPath, 
  BOOL fCreate, 
  PHCESVC phSvc
);

Parameters

• hSvcRoot
  [in] Handle to a registry subkey, obtained by means of a call to CeSvcOpen.

• pszPath
  [in] Pointer to a subpath to append to the logical subkey.

• fCreate
  [in] TRUE if the subkey should be created, and FALSE if it already exists.

• phSvc
  [out] Pointer to the handle to the registry subkey for the service. This handle is equivalent to a HKEY value and can be used by other CEUTIL API functions, as well as Win32 registry manipulation functions.

Remarks

When the handle retrieved by CeSvcOpenEx is no longer needed, the application should call the CeSvcClose function.
