SECRegistry::Connect
BOOLSECRegistry::Connect(HKEYhKeyToOpen, LPCTSTRlpszComputerName)
Establishes a connection with the registry.
Defined in: SECREG.CPP
Return Value
Nonzero if a connection to the key was established, otherwise 0.
Parameters
hKeyToOpen
The handle of the registry key to connect to.
lpszComputerName
Name of the computer to connect to.
Comments
This method is called as the first step in accessing the registry. It connects to an existing key in the registry on the local or remote computer named by lpszComputerName. If lpszComputerName is NULL or contains an empty string, the local system is assumed.
Once a connection to the registry is established, use the Open method to open keys in the registry.
Example
SECRegistry reg;
BOOL rc = reg.Connect(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "RemoteSystemName");
Developer Notes
32-bit only. Also, if connecting to a remote registry, and the name of the remote system cannot be found, this method will not return until a time-out occurs.
