Value returned by RegQueryValueEx

[pcwc66]

Hi,

I just want to know whether it is normal to have a value "Word.Document.8 u m e n t . 8" returned by the 5th parameter lpdata of RegQueryValueEx(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, ".doc", 0, 0x20019, @lpdata, @lpcbdata) or the value "Excel.Sheet.8 h e e t . 8" returned when calling RegQueryValueEx(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, ".xls", 0, 0x20019, @lpdata, @lpcbdata).

I wonder whether the value should be just ""Word.Document.8" or ""Excel.Sheet.8" without the extra characters.


Thank you.

Yes it should be "Word.Document.8" or ""Excel.Sheet.8" without the extra characters.

You might missed something, but as far as I know ".doc" or ".xls" is a "key" not a "value". So it has to open with RegOpenKey then you use the "return key" with RegQueryValueEx.

Look into the documentation carefully
