Writting to registry failling

Code:

---

bool WriteRegStr(HKEY hKey, const char *lpszSubKey, const char *lpszValueName, const char *lpData)
{
    HKEY hkey;
        if (RegOpenKeyEx(hKey, lpszSubKey, 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hkey) != ERROR_SUCCESS) return false;
        {
                if (RegSetValueEx(hKey, lpszValueName, 0, REG_SZ, LPBYTE(lpData), lstrlen(lpData)+1) != ERROR_SUCCESS) return false;
                RegCloseKey(hkey);
                return true;
        }
        return false;
}

WriteRegStr(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Joel", "temp", "boom");

I'm attempting to update temp but it doesn't do the job, any ideas?

Code:

---

bool WriteRegStr(HKEY hKey, const char *lpszSubKey, const char *lpszValueName, const char *lpData)
{
    HKEY hkey;
        if (RegOpenKeyEx(hKey, lpszSubKey, 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hkey) != ERROR_SUCCESS) return false;

Wakka wakka. Your local HKEY variable is used instead of the argument you passed. Probably unintended.

HKEY hKey
HKEY hkey;
RegOpenKeyEx(hKey,

good one is used.the argument has a uppercase, same for the parameter passed in RegOpenKeyEx.Very confusing when having two such variables.
