Howdy everyone,
I wanted to be able to use remote registry calls, so I've been fiddling
around and found the proper declares to initiate a connection and return
an integer handle. That seems to work fine, returning 0 for hosts that
are valid targets and non-zero for bad hosts. Using the handle returned
seems to work fine for closing the connection. Now I'm trying to
actually read some keys, but haven't quite sorted that out.
I connect to the remote or local registry, then try to grab the key
handle with this:
Soft Declare Function RegOpenKeyEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias
"RegOpenKeyExA" (ByVal hKey As Integer, ByVal lpSubKey As CString, ByVal
ulOptions As Integer, ByVal samDesired As Integer, phkResult As Integer)
As Integer
if System.IsFunctionAvailable("RegOpenKeyExA", "advapi32.dll") Then
dim q As Integer
q = RegOpenKeyEx(remoteHandle, "SOFTWARE", 0, &H20000, remoteKeyHandle)
Return q
Else
Return 800
end if
remoteHandle is the handle returned by RegConnectRegistry, and which
seems to be populating fine since it works for the RegClose operation.
However, RegOpenKeyEx returns non-zero and doesn't populate remoteKeyHandle.
Anyone here able to point me the right way?
Thanks,
Fargo
