CWinAppEx::GetSectionString

Reads string data from the registry.

CString GetSectionString(
   LPCTSTR lpszSubSection,
   LPCTSTR lpszEntry,
   LPCTSTR lpszDefault = _T("")
);

Parameters

  • [in] lpszSubSection
    A string that contains the relative path of a registry key.

  • [in] lpszEntry
    A string that contains the value to read.

  • [in] lpszDefault
    The default value to return if the specified value does not exist.

Return Value

The string data stored in the specified registry value if the data exists; otherwise lpszDefault.

Remarks

This method reads string data written to the registry. Use CWinAppEx::WriteString and CWinAppEx::WriteSectionString to write string data to the registry.

The lpszSubSection parameter is not an absolute path for a registry entry. It is a relative path that is appended to the end of the default registry key for your application. To get or set the default registry key, use the methods CWinAppEx::GetRegistryBase and CWinAppEx::SetRegistryBase respectively.
