Extending the Registry donated-code #2

Hello again,

I figured out the short-cut methods won't do the job. I have to call the generic
invoke method. The serialization is very challenging, I managed to do what I want,
without being to sure of what I am doing :) I would appreciate if someone can check if the
instruction string is correct and how to process a return value??

here is the code.

fpSKV = new FuncPtr("ADVAPI32.DLL", "RegSetValueExW");

public static void SetKeyValue(int key, String name, String value) throws IOException, COMException {

        NakedByteStream nbs = new NakedByteStream();
        // wrap it in a LittleEndianOutputStream
        LittleEndianOutputStream leos = new LittleEndianOutputStream(nbs);
        // and then write the Java arguments
        leos.writeInt(key); // 4 bytes.
        leos.writeStringUnicode(name); // 4 bytes, this is PTR
        leos.writeInt(0); // 4 bytes
        leos.writeInt(1); // type like REG_NONE = 0, REG_SZ =1, REG_EXPAND_SZ=2 etc..
        leos.writeStringUnicode(value);
        leos.writeInt((value.length()*2));
//      System.out.print("Stream length=" + nbs.size() );
        fpSKV.invoke("IGIIGI:T1:", 24, nbs, null, ReturnFlags.CHECK_NONE);

        // T1 throws exception with The operation completed successfully.
        // T7 is no exception
}


Can I get CVS access to commit the Registry stub?

Cheers / Christophe

p.s. As an end-user of libraries it's a bit nuts I have to dive into this,
deploying java apps is just a bit more demanding ;-)
