- Registry calls for 16 bit
- Posted by Andrews on February 23rd, 2005
Hi,
I need to access registry for my windows 98 driver and wants to keep all the
calls in my driver as 16 bit compatible.
can u please suggest calls for that. I have seen the application layer the
calls for 16 bit are 'RegCreateKey' etc. anything equivement at driver side.
Shall i go for Zw* calls or RTL* calls ??
Thanks

IIRC HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT only possible to use in 16 bit

I have no environment now to check that but as I remember any calls (
create/read /write ) to keys other than under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT cause return error to app.
In driver you can do what you want if it's 32 bit module

For what? Who will write any more 16bit apps in modern days?

Don't worry, just write to the registry as usually.
The (properly written) apps will get it.

I mean to say from my driver i want to access registry.
just happened to see some references of "_CONFIGMG_Read_Registry_Value". I
couldn't find some proper documentation for these.
any comments on this call ??

CONFIGMG functions in win9x have "dual interface": can be called from VxDs or user mode apps,
of course the calling sequences are different.
If your driver is a VxD, you just make the _CONFIGMG_Read_Registry_Value call.
Sorry, can't remember all details.

I believe in Win9x all RegXXX functions are available to 16 bit
applications. Remember that setup.dll is 16 bits, and it reads/writes all
HKLM keys without problems.
