what function is available for me to get a value from a registry key?!
RegGetValueA can't help me since it for windows xp 64bit edition and above
but i'm using 32bit xp
i tried using RegQueryValueEx but it doesn't returning any value :\
any other suggestions? thx

hello 1gaz,
the following link to NtQueryValueKey is the Native alternative to RegQueryValueEx and seeing as how i do not see any warnings about using this API on msdn's site, i think this API in all likelyhood will not change with future versions of windows..http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd445601.aspx

hope this helps

regards BanMe

isn't it some kernel mode api or something?
how can i use it?! should i include other library? cuz my compiler can't recognize this function
btw my name is 1Qaz not gaz lol every1 think it's gaz

Hmmm you're using Microsoft right?

Here's a function I just quickly put together, not tested but should work:

[BanMe]

sorry for the misinterpretation or your name..

NtQueryValueKey is not a kernelmode API.. in fact the website explicitly states that this API is not to be used from kernel mode..lurc's implementation is prolly as simple as it gets and it entirly usable..but to use the API NtQueryValueKey you simply have to include ntdll.lib into your project.. this lib file can be found within the DDK..

Regards BanMe

thank you both 2 ways are good for me now
btw lurc what's the meaning of __checkReturn ?!

[lurc]

__checkReturn is a SAL Annotation that tells the caller of the function that the return of the function must not be ignored for the safety of his/her own program.
