5/10/2007
The following values are registry value types.
| Value | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
0 |
DAREG_NONE |
No defined value type. |
1 |
DAREG_SZ |
A null-terminated string. It is a Unicode or ANSI string, depending on whether you use the Unicode or ANSI functions. |
2 |
DAREG_EXPAND_SZ |
A null-terminated string that contains unexpanded references to environment variables, for example, "%PATH%". It is a Unicode or ANSI string depending on whether you use the Unicode or ANSI functions. |
3 |
DAREG_BINARY |
Binary data in any form. |
4 |
DAREG_DWORD |
A 32-bit number. |
4 |
DAREG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN |
A 32-bit number in little-endian format. This is equivalent to DAREG_DWORD. In little-endian format, a multibyte value is stored in memory from the lowest byte to the highest byte. For example, the value 0x12345678 is stored as (0x78 0x56 0x34 0x12) in little-endian format. |
5 |
DAREG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN |
A 32-bit number in big-endian format. In big-endian format, a multi-byte value is stored in memory from the highest byte to the lowest byte. For example, the value 0x12345678 is stored as (0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78) in big-endian format. |
6 |
DAREG_LINK |
A Unicode symbolic link. Used internally. Applications should not use this type. |
7 |
DAREG_MULTI_SZ |
An array of null-terminated strings, terminated by two null characters. |
8 |
DAREG_RESOURCE_LIST |
A device driver resource list. |
11 |
DAREG_QWORD |
A 64-bit number. |
11 |
DAREG_QWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN |
A 64-bit number in little-endian format. This is equivalent to REG_QWORD. |
