CWinAppEx::GetSectionBinary

Reads binary data from the registry.

BOOL GetSectionBinary(
   LPCTSTR lpszSubSection,
   LPCTSTR lpszEntry,
   LPBYTE* ppData,
   UINT* pBytes 
);

Parameters

• [in] lpszSubSection
  A string that contains the relative path of a registry key.

• [in] lpszEntry
  A string that contains the value to read.

• [out] ppData
  A pointer to the buffer where the method stores the data.

• [out] pBytes
  A pointer to an unsigned integer. The method writes the size of ppData to this parameter.

Return Value

True if successful; otherwise false.

Remarks

This method reads binary data that is written to the registry using the methods CWinAppEx::WriteBinary and CWinAppEx::WriteSectionBinary.

The lpszSubSection parameter is not an absolute path for a registry entry. It is a relative path that is appended to the end of the default registry key for your application. To get or set the default registry key, use the methods CWinAppEx::GetRegistryBase and CWinAppEx::SetRegistryBase respectively.
