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
ve_valuename
Pointer to a null-terminated string. Before calling RegQueryMultipleValues, set this member to point to the name of a value to retrieve.
ve_valuelen
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the data pointed to by ve_valueptr.
ve_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.
ve_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. |
