This method releases the handle of the specified registry key on a remote Windows Embedded CE–based device.

Syntax 

LONG CeRegCloseKey(
  HKEY 
hKey 
);

Parameters

hKey

[in] Handle to the open registry key to close.

Return Value

ERROR_SUCCESS indicates success. A nonzero error code defined in Winerror.h indicates failure. To get a generic description of the error, call FormatMessagewith the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag set.

Remarks

The handle for a specified key cannot be used after it has been closed. Key handles should not be left open any longer than necessary.

The IRAPISession::CeRegCloseKeymethod always writes information to the registry before returning, eliminating the need to flush keys in the Windows Embedded CE registry.

Library ole32.lib, rapiuuid.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
