VALENT

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.

    Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
