RegNotifyChangeKeyValue 监听注册表

 

RegNotifyChangeKeyValue

The RegNotifyChangeKeyValue function notifies the caller about changes to the attributes or contents of a specified registry key.

LONG RegNotifyChangeKeyValue(
  HKEY hKey,
  BOOL bWatchSubtree,
  DWORD dwNotifyFilter,
  HANDLE hEvent,
  BOOL fAsynchronous
);

Parameters

hKey

[in] Handle to an open key. This handle is returned by the RegCreateKeyEx or RegOpenKeyEx function, or it can be one of the following predefined keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS

The key must have been opened with the KEY_NOTIFY access right. For more information, see Registry Key Security and Access Rights.

bWatchSubtree

[in] If this parameter is TRUE, the function reports changes in the specified key and its subkeys. If the parameter is FALSE, the function reports changes only in the specified key.

dwNotifyFilter

[in] Changes that should be reported. This parameter can be one or more of the following values.

Value	Meaning
REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_NAME 0x00000001L	Notify the caller if a subkey is added or deleted.
REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES 0x00000002L	Notify the caller of changes to the attributes of the key, such as the security descriptor information.
REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_SET 0x00000004L	Notify the caller of changes to a value of the key. This can include adding or deleting a value, or changing an existing value.
REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SECURITY 0x00000008L	Notify the caller of changes to the security descriptor of the key.

hEvent

[in] Handle to an event. If the fAsynchronous parameter is TRUE, the function returns immediately and changes are reported by signaling this event. If fAsynchronous is FALSE, hEvent is ignored.

fAsynchronous

[in] If this parameter is TRUE, the function returns immediately and reports changes by signaling the specified event. If this parameter is FALSE, the function does not return until a change has occurred.

If hEvent does not specify a valid event, the fAsynchronous parameter cannot be TRUE.

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

This function cannot be used to detect changes to the registry that result from using the RegRestoreKey function.

If the key identified by the hKey parameter is closed, the event is signaled. This means that an application should not depend on the key being open after returning from a wait operation on the event.

If the thread that called RegNotifyChangeKeyValue exits, the event is signaled. When the event is signaled, RegNotifyChangeKeyValue ends its monitoring of the key value. If you want to monitor further changes in the value of the key, call RegNotifyChangeKeyValue again.

RegNotifyChangeKeyValue does not work with remote handles. If RegNotifyChangeKeyValue is called with an hKey value that is a remote handle, it returns ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE.

If this function is called more than once with different values for the bWatchSubtree and dwNotifyFilter parameters, the changed parameter values will be ignored on subsequent calls. If you want to call RegNotifyChangeKeyValue again with different values for these parameters, you must first close the key handle hKey by calling RegCloseKey, then reopen the key handle by calling RegOpenKeyEx.

Example Code [C++]

The following program illustrates how to use RegNotifyChangeKeyValue.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

void main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   DWORD  dwFilter = REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_NAME |
                     REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES |
                     REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_SET |
                     REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SECURITY; 

   HANDLE hEvent;
   HKEY   hMainKey;
   HKEY   hKey;
   LONG   lErrorCode;

   // Display the usage error message.
   if (argc != 3) 
   {
      printf("Usage: notify [HKLM/HKU/HKCU/HKCR/HCC] [subkey]\n");
      return;
   }

   // Convert parameters to appropriate handles.
   if (strcmp("HKLM", argv[1]) == 0) hMainKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
   else if(strcmp("HKU", argv[1]) == 0) hMainKey=HKEY_USERS;
   else if(strcmp("HKCU", argv[1]) == 0) hMainKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USER;
   else if(strcmp("HKCR", argv[1]) == 0) hMainKey=HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT;
   else if(strcmp("HCC", argv[1]) == 0) hMainKey=HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG;
   else 
   {
      printf("Usage: notify [HKLM/HKU/HKCU/HKCR/HCC] [subkey]\n");
      return;
   }

   // Open a key.
   lErrorCode = RegOpenKeyEx(hMainKey, argv[2], 0, KEY_NOTIFY, &hKey);
   if (lErrorCode != ERROR_SUCCESS)
   {
      printf("Error in RegOpenKeyEx.\n");
      return;
   }

   // Create an event.
   hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, TRUE, FALSE, NULL);
   if (hEvent == NULL)
   {
      printf("Error in CreateEvent.\n");
      return;
   }

   // Watch the registry key for a change of value.
   lErrorCode = RegNotifyChangeKeyValue(hKey, 
                                        TRUE, 
                                        dwFilter, 
                                        hEvent, 
                                        TRUE);
   if (lErrorCode != ERROR_SUCCESS)
   {
      printf("Error in RegNotifyChangeKeyValue.\n");
      return;
   }

   // Wait for an event to occur.
   if (WaitForSingleObject(hEvent, INFINITE) == WAIT_FAILED)
   {
      printf("Error in WaitForSingleObject.\n");
      return;
   }

   // Close the key.
   lErrorCode = RegCloseKey(hKey);
   if (lErrorCode != ERROR_SUCCESS)
   {
      printf("Error in RegCloseKey.\n");
      return;
   }
   
   // Close the handle.
   if (!CloseHandle(hEvent))
   {
      printf("Error in CloseHandle.\n");
      return;
   }
}
