Registry Data Types
These data types can be used to specify the type of a registry value.
Constant | Description |
---|---|
|
Binary data in any form. |
|
32-bit number. |
|
64-bit number. |
|
32-bit number in little-endian format. This is equivalent to REG_DWORD. In little-endian format, a multibyte value is stored in memory from the lowest byte (the "little end") to the highest byte. For example, the value 0x12345678 is stored as (0x78 0x56 0x34 0x12) in little-endian format. |
|
A 64-bit number in little-endian format. This is equivalent to REG_QWORD. |
|
32-bit number in big-endian format. In big-endian format, a multibyte value is stored in memory from the highest byte (the "big end") to the lowest byte. For example, the value 0x12345678 is stored as (0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78) in big-endian format. |
|
Null-terminated string that contains unexpanded references to environment variables (for example, "%PATH%"). It will be a Unicode or ANSI string, depending on whether you use the Unicode or ANSI functions. |
|
Unicode symbolic link. |
|
Array of null-terminated strings that are terminated by two null characters. |
|
No defined value type. |
|
Device-driver resource list. |
|
Null-terminated string. It will be a Unicode or ANSI string, depending on whether you use the Unicode or ANSI functions. |
