CeRegGetInfo (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

This function retrieves the name of an open registry key information about the key.

Syntax

LONG CeRegGetInfo(
    HKEY hKey, 
    PCE_REGISTRY_INFO pInfo
);

Parameters

• hKey
  [in] Handle to a currently open key or to any of the following predefined values:

  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • HKEY_USERS

• pInfo
  [in/out] Pointer to a CE_REGISTRY_INFO structure that contains information about the registry key.

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. The message resource is optional, so FormatMessage might fail.

Remarks

The cbSize member of the CE_REGISTRY_INFO structure pointed to by pInfo must be set to sizeof (CE_REGISTRY_INFO) by the calling function.

If CE_REGISTRY_INFO is passed in with pszFullKeyName set to NULL, the function still returns without error and with all other fields filled.
