This function receives information about a registry change notification.

Syntax 

LONG CeRegGetNotificationInfo(
	__in HANDLE hChangeHandle,
	__in DWORD dwFlags, 
	__inout_bcount(nBufferLength) __opt LPVOID lpBuffer, 
	__in DWORD nBufferLength, 
	__out LPDWORD lpBytesReturned, 
	__out LPDWORD lpBytesAvailable	);

Parameters

hChangeHandle

[in]Handle to a change notification handle created by the CeFindFirstRegChangefunction.

dwFlags

[in] Unused. Set to zero.

lpBuffer

Pointer to a buffer that receives data for the change. Can be set to NULL if the caller is only requesting the lpBytesAvailableparameter .

nBufferLength

Length of buffer in lpBuffer. This value can be set to zero if the calling function is only requesting size.

lpBytesReturned

[out] The number of bytes returned in lpBuffer .This value can be set to NULL if requesting only lpBytesAvailable.

lpBytesAvailable

[out] The number of bytes of notification data currently available.

Return Values

A nonzero value indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If lpBufferis set to NULL and nBufferLength is set to zero, this function sets lpBytesAvailableto the current number of bytes available.

When this function returns, lpBuffercontains a pointer to a REG_NOTIFY_INFORMATIONstructure.

If more notification data is available when CeGetFileNotificationInforeturns successfully, GetLastErrorreturns ERROR_MORE_DATA. If notifications are available, but they do not fit in lpBuffer, GetLastErrorreturns ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER.

Requirements

Library coredll.lib
