hey all

i made a registry tool which can create and delete windows registry keys.
all working fine exept retrieving a dword value from a subkey.

this is the code where it goes about also i will upload the whole project

	invoke RegCreateKeyEx, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Addr NameOfKey, 0, 0, 0, KEY_WRITE, 0, Addr hKey, Addr lpdwDisp
		.if eax == ERROR_SUCCESS
			invoke MessageBox, hWnd, chr$("Key created!"), chr$("Succeeds"), MB_ICONINFORMATION
		.else
			invoke MessageBox, hWnd, chr$("Key not created!"), chr$("Error"), MB_IConerror
		.endif
	.endif

.elseif eax == GetDwordKey
	mov lpcbData, 4
	invoke RegQueryValueEx, hKey, chr$("This is a dword value"), 0, addr lpType, addr Buffer, addr lpcbData
   
		.if eax == ERROR_SUCCESS
			invoke SetDlgItemText, hWnd, 1013,ADDR Buffer
		.else
			invoke SetDlgItemText, hWnd, 1013, chr$("Dwordkey can't be retrieved!")
		.endif
.endif

project

removed

invoke RegCreateKeyEx, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Addr NameOfKey, 0, 0, 0, KEY_WRITE, 0, Addr hKey, Addr lpdwDisp

Of course you cannot read anything from the registry, you opened/created the key for writing only! OR KEY_READ and you will be able to read from the registry:

invoke RegCreateKeyEx, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Addr NameOfKey, 0, 0, 0, KEY_WRITE or KEY_READ, 0, Addr hKey, Addr lpdwDisp

Next issue:
Is a DWORD the same thing as a string??? This will show gibberish:

invoke SetDlgItemText, hWnd, 1013,ADDR Buffer

It should be:

invoke SetDlgItemInt, hWnd, 1013, ADDR Buffer, FALSE
