The SetBinaryValue method sets the data value for a named value whose data type is REG_BINARY.
This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.
uint32 SetBinaryValue(
[in] uint32 hDefKey = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
[in] string sSubKeyName,
[in] string sValueName,
[in] uint8 uValue[]
);
-
hDefKey [in]
-
A registry tree, also known as a hive, that contains the sSubKeyName path. The default value is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
The following trees are defined in WinReg.h.
-
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (2147483648)
-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER (2147483649)
-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (2147483650)
-
HKEY_USERS (2147483651)
-
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (2147483653)
sSubKeyName [in]
A key that contains the named value to be set.
sValueName [in]
A named value whose data value you are setting. You can specify an existing named value (update) or a new named value (create). Specify an empty string to set the data value for the default named value.
uValue [in]
An array of binary data values. The default value is [1,2].
In C++, the method returns a uint32 value that is 0 (zero) if successful. If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code that is defined in WinError.h. In C++, use the FormatMessage function with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag to get a generic description of the error. You can also look up return values under the WMI Error Constants.
In scripting or Visual Basic, the method returns an integer value that is 0 (zero) if successful. If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code that you can look up in WbemErrorEnum.
The Send a file to the Recycle Bin VBScript code sample sends a file to the Recycle Bin instead of permanently deleting that file.
The following VBScript code example shows how to write a new value to the REG_BINARY value that is located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MyKey\MyBinaryNamedValue.
Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
Set objRegistry = _
GetObject("Winmgmts:root\default:StdRegProv")
strPath = "Software\MyKey"
uBinary = Array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
Return = objRegistry.SetBinaryValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, _
strPath, _
"MyBinaryNamedValue", _
uBinary)
If (Return = 0) And (Err.Number = 0) Then
Wscript.Echo "Binary value added successfully"
Else
' An error occurred
End If
