Thread: 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?

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.

Yeah...I was using the wrong one

Thanks!
