The VALENT structure contains information about a registry value. The RegQueryMultipleValues function uses this structure.

typedef struct value_ent {

LPTSTR ve_valuename;

DWORD ve_valuelen;

DWORD ve_valueptr;

DWORD ve_type;

}VALENT;

Members

e_valuename

Pointer to a null-terminated string. Before calling RegQueryMultipleValues, set this member to point to the name of a value to retrieve.

e_valuelen

Specifies the size, in bytes, of the data pointed to by ve_valueptr.

e_valueptr

Pointer to the data for the value entry. This is a pointer to the value's data returned in the lpValueBuf buffer filled in by RegQueryMultipleValues.

e_type

Specifies the type code for the value entry. The type code can be one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
REG_BINARY	Binary data in any form.
REG_DWORD	A 32-bit number.
REG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN	A 32-bit number in little-endian format (same as REG_DWORD). In little-endian format, the most significant byte of a word is the high-order byte. This is the most common format for computers running Windows NT and Windows 95.
REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN	A 32-bit number in big-endian format. In big-endian format, the most significant byte of a word is the low-order byte.
REG_EXPAND_SZ	A null-terminated string that contains unexpanded references to environment variables (for example, "%PATH%"). It will be a Unicode or ANSI string depending on whether you use the Unicode or ANSI functions.
REG_LINK	A Unicode symbolic link.
REG_MULTI_SZ	An array of null-terminated strings, terminated by two null characters.
REG_NONE	No defined value type.
REG_RESOURCE_LIST	A device-driver resource list.
REG_SZ	A null-terminated string. It will be a Unicode or ANSI string, depending on whether you use the Unicode or ANSI functions.
