RegQueryInfoKey
The RegQueryInfoKey function retrieves information about a specified registry key. LONG RegQueryInfoKey (| HKEY hKey,
| // handle of key to query
|
| LPTSTR lpClass,
| // address of buffer for class string
|
| LPDWORD lpcbClass,
| // address of size of class string buffer
|
| LPDWORD lpReserved,
| // reserved
|
| LPDWORD lpcSubKeys,
| // address of buffer for number of subkeys
|
| LPDWORD lpcbMaxSubKeyLen,
| // address of buffer for longest subkey name length
|
| LPDWORD lpcbMaxClassLen,
| // address of buffer for longest class string length
|
| LPDWORD lpcValues,
| // address of buffer for number of value entries
|
| LPDWORD lpcbMaxValueNameLen,
| // address of buffer for longest value name length
|
| LPDWORD lpcbMaxValueLen,
| // address of buffer for longest value data length
|
| LPDWORD lpcbSecurityDescriptor,
| // address of buffer for security descriptor length
|
| PFILETIME lpftLastWriteTime
| // address of buffer for last write time
|
| );

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS lpClass Points to a buffer that receives the key's class name. This parameter can be NULL. lpcbClass Points to a variable that specifies the size, in characters, of the buffer pointed to by the lpClass parameter. This size should include the terminating null character. When the function returns, this variable contains the length of the class string stored in the buffer. The count returned does not include the terminating null character. If the buffer is not big enough, the function returns ERROR_MORE_DATA, and the variable contains the size of the string, in characters, without counting the null character. If lpClass is NULL, lpcbClass can be NULL. Windows NT: If the lpClass parameter is a valid address, but the lpcbClass parameter is not (for example, it is NULL), the function returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. Windows 95: If the lpClass parameter is a valid address, but the lpcbClass parameter is not (for example, it is NULL), the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS instead of ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. To ensure compatibility with other platforms, verify that lpcbClass is valid before calling the function. lpReserved Reserved; must be NULL. lpcSubKeys Points to a variable that receives the number of subkeys contained by the specified key. This parameter can be NULL. lpcbMaxSubKeyLen Points to a variable that receives the length, in characters, of the key's subkey with the longest name. The count returned does not include the terminating null character. This parameter can be NULL. lpcbMaxClassLen Points to a variable that receives the length, in characters, of the longest string specifying a subkey class. The count returned does not include the terminating null character. This parameter can be NULL. lpcValues Points to a variable that receives the number of values associated with the key. This parameter can be NULL. lpcbMaxValueNameLen Points to a variable that receives the length, in characters, of the key's longest value name. The count returned does not include the terminating null character. This parameter can be NULL. lpcbMaxValueLen Points to a variable that receives the length, in bytes, of the longest data component among the key's values. This parameter can be NULL. lpcbSecurityDescriptor Points to a variable that receives the length, in bytes, of the key's security descriptor. This parameter can be NULL. lpftLastWriteTime Pointer to a FILETIME structure. This parameter can be NULL. If you are querying the registry on a computer running Windows NT, the function sets the members of the FILETIME structure to indicate the last time that the key or any of its value entries was modified. If you are querying the registry on a computer running Windows 95, the function sets the members of the FILETIME structure to zero. This is because the Windows 95 operating system does not keep track of registry key last write time information. 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 The key identified by the hKey parameter must have been opened with KEY_QUERY_VALUE access (KEY_READ access includes KEY_QUERY_VALUE access).
