GetMultiStringValue method of the StdRegProv class

The GetMultiStringValue method returns the data value for a named value whose data type is REG_MULTI_SZ.

This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.

Syntax

uint32 GetMultiStringValue(
  [in]  uint32 hDefKey = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
  [in]  string sSubKeyName,
  [in]  string sValueName,
  [out] string sValue[]
);

Parameters

hDefKey [in]

A registry tree, also known as a hive, that contains the sSubKeyName path. The default value is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

The following trees are defined in WinReg.h.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (2147483648)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER (2147483649)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (2147483650)

HKEY_USERS (2147483651)

HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (2147483653)

sSubKeyName [in]

A path that contains the named values.

sValueName [in]

A named value whose data value you are retrieving.

sValue [out]

An array of string data values for the named value.

Return value

In C++, the method returns a uint32 value that is 0 (zero) if successful. If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code that is defined in WinError.h. In C++, use the FormatMessage function with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag to get a generic description of the error. You can also look up return values under the WMI Error Constants.

In scripting or Visual Basic, the method returns an integer value that is 0 (zero) if successful. If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code that you can look up in WbemErrorEnum.

Remarks

A multistring value stores a list of strings. A typical use of a multistring value is demonstrated by the Autorecover MOFs entry in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM subkey. This entry holds a list of .mof files that are used to autorecover the CIM repository. The list could have been held in a series of string-valued entries, all stored under a single Autorecover MOFs subkey. However, using a multistring value is more compact and makes programmatic retrieval of the values more convenient. With a multistring entry, there is only one registry entry to read, which makes it more likely that you will retrieve every value. By contrast, storing each value in a separate registry entry requires you to individually read each of those entries. In turn, that increases the likelihood of you missing a value.

You use the GetMultiStringValue method to retrieve a multistring value. The method takes as one of its parameters a variable that holds the set of strings retrieved. The strings are returned in an array, so you must use a For Each loop in your script to enumerate each of the individual strings in the array.

Examples

The Show NIC Binding Order VBScript sample shows the NIC binding order.

The Get or Set the Internet Explorer Start Pages PowerShell sample retrieves the IE start page or pages, and will also allow you to set the IE start pages.

The following VBScript code example shows how to read the value of type REG_MULTI_SZ located in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\System\Sources and print the list to the screen. You can save the script as a file with a .vbs extension and send the output to a file by executing the command line in the folder that contains the script:

cscript Filename.vbs > output.txt

const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set objReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\"&_ 
    strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\System"
strValueName = "Sources"
Return = objReg.GetMultiStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,_
    strValueName,arrValues)
If (Return = 0) And (Err.Number = 0) Then   
' Treat the multistring value as a collection of strings 
'    separated by spaces and output
    For Each strValue In arrValues
    WScript.Echo  strValue
Next
Else
    Wscript.Echo "GetMultiStringValue failed. Error = " & Err.Number
End If
