Thread: Registry

I am trying to get my program to load its startup information from the Windows registry. I can load integers correctly by using the following code:

RegEnumValue(hKey, Index, Buffer, &BufSize, NULL, &Type, &Data, &Size);

When I try to get the value of a string like this:

RegEnumValue(hKey, 5, Buffer, &BufSize, NULL, &Type, &Data, &Size);
strcpy(Option.FontName, Data);

I get an error message.

How can I load a string from the registry?

Code:

const char *keyName = "myStringValueName";
char *buffer = new char[256];
DWORD bufferSize = 256;
RegQueryValueEx(globalKey, keyName, NULL, NULL, (LPBYTE)buffer, &bufferSize);

And of course,

Code:

delete [] buffer;
