Q: How can I read data from the registry?
A:
Code:

HKEY hKey; DWORD dwSize = 0; DWORD dwDataType = 0; DWORD dwValue = 0; if(::RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "System//CurrentControlSet//Control//Windows", 0, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, &hKey) == ERROR_SUCCESS) { // Get CSD version dwSize = sizeof(dwValue); if(::RegQueryValueEx(hKey, "CSDVersion", 0, &dwDataType, reinterpret_cast<BYTE *>(&dwValue), &dwSize) != ERROR_SUCCESS) { // Close key ::RegCloseKey(hKey); // Error handling } else { // Work with value // Close key ::RegCloseKey(hKey); } } else // Error handling;

Q: The RegQueryValueEx function returns an error code 234 (ERROR_MORE_DATA) that means "more data is available". How many bytes must be allocated for value buffer to assure this error does not appear anymore?
A: To find the necessary buffer size, call 'RegQueryValueEx()' with a 'NULL' value in 'lpData' parameter. After return, the variable pointed by 'lpcbData' will contain the size of the data. Allocate the buffer 'lpData' then call 'RegQueryValueEx()' again:
Code:

HKEY hKey = NULL; DWORD dwSize = 0; DWORD dwDataType = 0; LPBYTE lpValue = NULL; LPCTSTR const lpValueName = _T("Directory"); LONG lRet = ::RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, _T("System//CurrentControlSet//Control//Windows"), 0, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, &hKey); if(ERROR_SUCCESS != lRet) { // Error handling (see this FAQ) return; } // Call once RegQueryValueEx to retrieve the necessary buffer size ::RegQueryValueEx(hKey, lpValueName, 0, &dwDataType, lpValue, // NULL &dwSize); // will contain the data size // Alloc the buffer lpValue = (LPBYTE)malloc(dwSize); // Call twice RegQueryValueEx to get the value lRet = ::RegQueryValueEx(hKey, lpValueName, 0, &dwDataType, lpValue, &dwSize); ::RegCloseKey(hKey); if(ERROR_SUCCESS != lRet) { // Error handling return; } // Enjoy of lpValue... // free the buffer when no more necessary free(lpValue);
