Off-topic: Problem with a C func

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

I just got a book recently, the "Win32 API Bible". It has tons of stuff in
it from creating windows to error and exception handling, I've even made
two programs that talk to each other with Windows thingies called atoms!
I'm working on a library for using the registry. It's worked well so far
except for one function: RegQueryValueEx. The problem is, I give it the
exact parameters as shown in the book, but it either returns ERROR_BAD_
PARAMETER or ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, and I don't know why! I was hoping that
maybe someone could help and show me what to pass it.

P.S. I noticed that if I give it a LONG and six POINTERs, it returns
ERROR_BAD_PARAMETER. But if I pass it only 5 POINTERs, it returns
ERROR_SUCCESS and the area where the value data should be has nothing but
garbage.
