public:
 Microsoft::Win32::RegistryKey ^ CreateSubKey(System::String ^ subkey);
public Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey CreateSubKey (string subkey);
member this.CreateSubKey : string -> Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
Public Function CreateSubKey (subkey As String) As RegistryKey

Parameters

subkey
String

The name or path of the subkey to create or open. This string is not case-sensitive.

Returns

The newly created subkey, or null if the operation failed. If a zero-length string is specified for subkey, the current RegistryKey object is returned.

Exceptions

subkey is null.

The user does not have the permissions required to create or open the registry key.

The RegistryKey on which this method is being invoked is closed (closed keys cannot be accessed).

The RegistryKey cannot be written to; for example, it was not opened as a writable key , or the user does not have the necessary access rights.

The nesting level exceeds 510.

-or-

A system error occurred, such as deletion of the key, or an attempt to create a key in the LocalMachine root.

Examples

The following code example shows how to create a subkey under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, manipulate its contents, and then delete the subkey.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Permissions;
using namespace Microsoft::Win32;

int main()

   // Create a subkey named Test9999 under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

   // Create two subkeys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Test9999.
   test9999->CreateSubKey( "TestName" )->Close();
   RegistryKey ^ testSettings = test9999->CreateSubKey( "TestSettings" );

   // Create data for the TestSettings subkey.
   testSettings->SetValue( "Language", "French" );
   testSettings->SetValue( "Level", "Intermediate" );
   testSettings->SetValue( "ID", 123 );
   testSettings->Close();

   // Print the information from the Test9999 subkey.
   Console::WriteLine( "There are {0} subkeys under Test9999.", test9999->SubKeyCount.ToString() );
   array<String^>^subKeyNames = test9999->GetSubKeyNames();

      Console::WriteLine( "\nThere are {0} values for {1}.", tempKey->ValueCount.ToString(), tempKey->Name );
      array<String^>^valueNames = tempKey->GetValueNames();
      for ( int j = 0; j < valueNames->Length; j++ )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "{0,-8}: {1}", valueNames[ j ], tempKey->GetValue( valueNames[ j ] )->ToString() );

      }

Remarks

In order to perform this action, the user must have permission at this level and below in the registry hierarchy.

Caution

Do not expose RegistryKey objects in such a way that a malicious program could create thousands of meaningless subkeys or key/value pairs. For example, do not allow callers to enter arbitrary keys or values.

Creates a new subkey or opens an existing subkey for write access, using the specified permission check option and registry security.

Public Function CreateSubKey (subkey As String, permissionCheck As RegistryKeyPermissionCheck, registrySecurity As RegistrySecurity) As RegistryKey

Parameters

subkey
String

The name or path of the subkey to create or open. This string is not case-sensitive.

permissionCheck
RegistryKeyPermissionCheck

One of the enumeration values that specifies whether the key is opened for read or read/write access.

registrySecurity
RegistrySecurity

The access control security for the new key.

Returns

The newly created subkey, or null if the operation failed. If a zero-length string is specified for subkey, the current RegistryKey object is returned.

Attributes

Exceptions

subkey is null.

The user does not have the permissions required to create or open the registry key.

permissionCheck contains an invalid value.

The RegistryKey on which this method is being invoked is closed (closed keys cannot be accessed).

The current RegistryKey cannot be written to; for example, it was not opened as a writable key, or the user does not have the necessary access rights.

The nesting level exceeds 510.

-or-

A system error occurred, such as deletion of the key, or an attempt to create a key in the LocalMachine root.

Remarks

The CreateSubKey method creates a registry key that has the access control specified by the registrySecurity parameter. The RegistryKey object that is returned represents the registry key, but that object is not restricted by the access control specified in the registrySecurity parameter.

If permissionCheck is RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree, the key is opened for read/write access. If permissionCheck is RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree, the key is opened for read access.

For backward compatibility, the key is opened for reading and writing if permissionCheck is RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.Default and the parent key also has RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.Default. If the parent key has any other setting, read/write status is controlled by the parent key's setting.

In order to perform this action, the user must have permissions at this level and below in the registry hierarchy.

Caution

Do not expose RegistryKey objects in such a way that a malicious program could create thousands of meaningless subkeys or key/value pairs. For example, do not allow callers to enter arbitrary keys or values.

In order to use the OpenSubKey method, you must have an instance of the RegistryKey class. To get an instance of RegistryKey, use one of the static members of the Registry class.
