RegConnectRegistry

The RegConnectRegistry function establishes a connection to a predefined registry handle on another computer.

LONG RegConnectRegistry(

LPTSTR lpMachineName,
// address of name of remote computer
HKEY hKey,
// predefined registry handle
PHKEY phkResult
// address of buffer for remote registry handle
);

Parameters

lpMachineName

Points to a null-terminated string containing the name of the remote computer. The string has the following form:

\\computername

If lpMachineName is NULL, the local computer name is used.

hKey

Specifies the predefined handle of the registry on the remote computer. Currently, the following values can be used:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS

An application cannot specify the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or HKEY_CURRENT_USER value for this parameter.

phkResult

Points to a variable that receives a key handle identifying the predefined handle on the remote computer.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code defined in WINERROR.H. You can use the FormatMessage function with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag to get a generic description of the error.

Remarks

When a handle returned by RegConnectRegistry is no longer needed, it should be closed by calling RegCloseKey.
