    Binary Registrykey

    Hello,

    I have the problem that I want to create a binary registrykey.

    I have a textbox where I put in the hex values like 1234ABC

    After this a registrykey REG_BINARY should be created

    Anyone have an idea ??

    Would be really great

    btw. I use VS 2005 with the Framework2

    Code:

        DWORD dwType, dwSize, dwRet;
        DWORD dwDisposition, dwIndex, dwResult;
        HKEY hKey;
        unsigned char input[] = {0x0a, 0x4f, 0x5c, 0x3a};
    
        RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
            "System\\BinaryData", 0, NULL,
            REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, NULL,
            &hKey, &dwDisposition);
    
        RegSetValueEx(hKey, "TestData", 0,
            REG_BINARY, (BYTE *)&input,
            sizeof(input));
        RegCloseKey(hKey);
        dwRet = RegOpenKeyEx( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
            "System\\BinaryData",
            0, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, &hKey );
        if( dwRet != ERROR_SUCCESS )
        {
            printf("RegOpenKeyEx failed\n");
            return -1;
        }   
        dwResult = RegQueryValueEx(hKey, "TestData",

            char *dataout = new char[dwSize];
            dwResult = RegQueryValueEx(hKey, "TestData", 0,

            if (dwResult == ERROR_SUCCESS)
            {
                for(dwIndex = 0; dwIndex < dwSize; dwIndex++)
                    printf("%02x ", dataout[dwIndex]);
            }
            delete[] dataout;
        }
        else
        {
            printf("RegQueryValueEx failed\n");
            return -1;
        }
