how to write an array of little-endian shorts ?

[F. Janse Kok]

I have to write an array of little-endian shorts to the registry of my
pocket-pc
for example the value's 2 , 5 and 10 but I don't know how to work with
chr(0).
In my example below the string stops after the first character.



if (RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
L"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\MSMQ\\SimpleClient\\" , 0, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, &hKey,
&disp)== ERROR_SUCCESS)
{

char MyString[] = "\x02" "\x00" "\x05" "\x00" "\x0A" "\x00" ;
RegSetValueEx(hKey, L"RetrySchedule", 0, REG_BINARY ,
(BYTE*)MyString, strlen(MyString) );

}

I think this should work, but not positive: replace strlen(MyString) with
sizeof(MyString).

If you have any more Pocket PC-specific questions, please ask in
microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer. Only Standard C++ is topical in this
group.

That's a bit wierd, since you have a array or char not a string I think its
better to be explicit about it. You might as well make it static and const
at the same time, since that is what you want.

static const char MyString[] = {'\x02', '\x00', '\x05', '\x00',
'\x0A', '\x00'};

RegSetValueEx(hKey, L"RetrySchedule", 0, REG_BINARY ,
(BYTE*)MyString, strlen(MyString) );

(BYTE*)MyString, sizeof MyString );

Again what you have is an array, not a string so use sizeof not strlen.

Thank you both " sizeof(MyString) -1 " was the solution , now
everything is OK.

-1 because you had a string as your initialiser, so the compiler added a
null byte. If you took my suggestion and used an array initialiser you would
have to drop the -1.

If you put the above code in int main(), #include all the Standard
Headers before that, and compile it, all you will get is a whole lot
of "undeclared identifier" errors;
