<p>I am trying to get a value which i had set on registry key "userpath" of type 'REG_SZ'. Simplified version of code is below.</p> <pre><code>#include <stdio.h> #include <windows.h> #include <iostream> const static char* SrvKey= "System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\LanmanServer\\Parameters"; const static char* sVal = "I am probably \a good boy\0"; const static char* keyName = "userpath"; using namespace std; int main(int argc, char* argv[]){ HKEY hkey; LONG status; DWORD wstatus; DWORD dwCtype; DWORD dwClen; DWORD dwSetStatus; status = RegCreateKeyEx( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SrvKey, (DWORD) 0, NULL, REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, (KEY_READ | KEY_WRITE), NULL, &hkey, NULL ); if(status != ERROR_SUCCESS){ printf("Error [%d] on creating key handle\n", status); return status; } //RegFlushKey(hkey); dwClen = strlen(sVal); dwCtype = REG_SZ; dwSetStatus = RegSetValueEx(hkey, keyName, 0, dwCtype, (BYTE*)sVal, dwClen); if(dwSetStatus != 0){ printf("\nError in setting value in registry. Error [%d]", dwSetStatus); return dwSetStatus; } RegFlushKey(hkey); DWORD dwCheckType = 0; DWORD dwCheckLen = 0; DWORD dwStatus; dwStatus = RegQueryValueEx( hkey, keyName, NULL, &dwCheckType, NULL, &dwCheckLen); if(dwStatus != 0){ printf("\nError in queering registry for length and type. Error [%d]", dwStatus); return dwStatus; } LPBYTE lpbCheckValue = (LPBYTE) malloc(dwCheckLen); //dwStatus not check at the moment. dwStatus = RegQueryValueEx( hkey, keyName, NULL, &dwCheckType, lpbCheckValue, &dwCheckLen); if(dwStatus != 0){ printf("\nError in queering registry for length and type. Error [%d]", dwStatus); return dwStatus; } printf("queried calue is : [%s]", lpbCheckValue); printf("\n\nEndofProgram\n"); system("PAUSE"); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>I am getting junk value for 'lpbCheckValue' after second RegQueryValueE winapi. Please point me what i am doing wrong?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
