Adding a Parameter to existing Proc - Forums

Home » Forums » MAIN » Adding a Parameter to existing Proc

I found this procedure that I am using successfully to add Registry values:





SetRegKeysz  PROC lpszString:DWORD, lpszKeyName:DWORD, lpszValueName:DWORD, dwStringLength

    LOCAL Disp  :DWORD

    LOCAL pKey  :DWORD

    invoke RegCreateKeyEx, HKEY_CURRENT_USER,

                             lpszKeyName, NULL, NULL, 

                             REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, 

                             KEY_ALL_ACCESS, NULL,

                             addr pKey, addr Disp

    .IF eax == ERROR_SUCCESS

        invoke RegSetValueEx, pKey, lpszValueName, 

                              NULL, REG_SZ, 

                              lpszString, dwStringLength 

        invoke RegCloseKey, pKey

    .ENDIF

    ret

SetRegKeysz ENDP

The problem is, I am stuck adding keys to HKEY_CURRENT_USER because it is hard coded.

Currently you call the function like this:





invoke SetRegKeysz , ADDR RegistryTextToAdd,    ADDR szKeyNameToAdd, ADDR szStringValueToAdd,  SIZEOF szStringValueToAdd

Here is the Prototype for the function:





SetRegKeysz PROTO :DWORD, :DWORD, :DWORD, :DWORD

What I would like to do, is add another parameter so I am not stuck adding values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Is this process involved? If it is, I may as well just write my values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, as I am sorta new at this.

Could it be as simple as changing adding another :DWORD to the prototype? (at work, no compiler here to test).
If so, would I have to change anything in the Proc itself, like replacing the hard coded value with a variable?

BTW - this board rocks. Glad I found it.

Trope

Adding a Parameter to existing Proc

i had the same problem. but its easy to solve.

jsut add a new parameter.

and replace it with HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

here is my code:

useage:

invoke SetRegString, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,

                        chr$("Software\MASM\Registry Test\"),

                        chr$("StringKeyName"), 

                        chr$("aaa")

SetRegString  proc reg_HKEY:dword, lpszKeyName:dword, lpszValueName:dword, lpszString:dword

    local Disp: dword

    local pKey: dword

    local dwSize: dword

    invoke RegCreateKeyEx, reg_HKEY,

        lpszKeyName, NULL, NULL, 

        REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, 

        KEY_ALL_ACCESS, NULL,

        addr pKey, addr Disp

    .if eax == ERROR_SUCCESS

        invoke lstrlen, lpszString

        mov dwSize, eax

        invoke RegSetValueEx, pKey, lpszValueName, 

            NULL, REG_SZ, 

            lpszString, dwSize 

        push eax

        invoke RegCloseKey, pKey

        pop eax

    .endif

    ret

SetRegString endp

Adding a Parameter to existing Proc

awesome! I was on the right track.

Could it be I am getting the hang on this... slowly? :o

Adding a Parameter to existing Proc

its easy. add new paramater to your proc "h_regkey:dword"

and replace "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" with "h_regkey". thats all
