SHRegEnumUSKey function

Applies to: desktop apps only

Enumerates the subkeys of a registry subkey in a user-specific subtree (HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE).

Syntax

LSTATUS SHRegEnumUSKey(
  __in     HUSKEY hUSKey,
  __in     DWORD dwIndex,
  __out    LPTSTR pszName,
  __inout  LPDWORD pcchName,
  __in     SHREGENUM_FLAGS enumRegFlags
);

Parameters

hUSKey [in]

Type: HUSKEY

A handle to a currently open registry subkey. The subkey must have been opened with the KEY_SET_VALUE access right. For more information, see Registry Key Security and Access Rights.

This handle can be obtained through the SHRegOpenUSKey function.

dwIndex [in]

Type: DWORD

The index of the subkey to retrieve. This parameter should be zero for the first call and incremented for subsequent calls.

pszName [out]

Type: LPTSTR

A pointer to a character buffer that receives the enumerated key name.

pcchName [in, out]

Type: LPDWORD

A pointer to a DWORD that, on entry, contains the size of the buffer at pszName, in characters. On exit, this contains the number of characters that were copied to pszName.

enumRegFlags [in]

Type: SHREGENUM_FLAGS

A SHREGENUM_FLAGS that specifies the base key in which the enumeration should take place.

Return value
