RegSetValueEx setting a strange value
-
im using a CColorDialog to get the numbers of a color but i cant figure out how to set it as a number it keeps setting it as €€€ the return of CColorDialog is formatted as 128128128 i need it as 128 128 128 i can get it that far i just cant figure out how to write it without it changing to €€€.

COLORREF temp = RGB(20,155,10); int red = (temp & 0x0000ff); int green = ((temp >> 8) & 0x0000ff); int blue = temp >> 16; char str[100]; sprintf(str,"red %i green %i blue %i",red,green,blue);output : red 20 green 155 blue 10 Hope this helps :)

that part i can do but when i try to write it to the registry it changes it from numbers to extended char set.
save it as a string in the registry sprintf(thestring,"%i %i %i",iRed,iGreen,iBlue) will format the stirng -> 155 155 155 then you dont have to warry about extended chars?

I can't always be wrong ... or can I?thats what im trying to do RegSetValueEx(hKey, "Background", 0, REG_SZ, (const unsigned char *)"0 78 152", dwvalue); that works fine but when i get the color from the dialog is when it kicks me in the head
COLORREF color; CString c; DWORD r, g, b; if (m_check3.GetCheck() == 1) { CColorDialog dlg; if(dlg.DoModal()== IDOK) { color = dlg.GetColor(); r = GetRValue(color); g = GetGValue(color); b = GetBValue(color); } c.Format("%d %d %d", r, g, b); hKey = HKEY_USERS; path = ".DEFAULT\\Control Panel\\Colors"; DWORD value = color; MessageBox(c); DWORD dwvalue = sizeof(DWORD); RegOpenKeyEx(hKey, path, 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hKey); RegSetValueEx( hKey, "Background", 0, REG_SZ, (const unsigned char *)&value, <--- here dwvalue ); } -

You should save the null terminator too (according to the docs) DWORD dwvalue = sizeof(unsigned char) * c.GetLength(); should be DWORD dwvalue = sizeof(unsigned char) * (c.GetLength() + 1);

Here's a tip, for what it's worth. With CString objects, unless you need to change the buffer directly, it's safer to use the const accessor methods (the LPCSTR cast or the GetString() method. CString::GetBuffer() is over-used (when not necessary) IMO :) (const unsigned char *)c.GetString(), instead of (const unsigned char *)c.GetBuffer(0), Mark
