The NdisOpenConfigurationKeyByIndex function opens a subkey of a given open registry key that is designated by a caller-supplied handle.
A pointer to a caller-supplied variable in which this function returns the status of its attempt to open the designated registry key. Possible return values are one of the following:
NDIS has initialized accessed to the subkey specified by KeyName and Index .
The key could not be opened.
The handle to a registry key for which a subkey is to be opened. Typically, ConfigurationHandle is returned by the NdisOpenConfigurationEx function.
The index of the subkey to be opened. This zero-based value designates the subkey to be opened under the key already opened with ConfigurationHandle .
A pointer to an NDIS_STRING type containing a caller-supplied buffer in which this functions returns a counted string in the system-default character set. This string specifies the name of the opened subkey if the call succeeds. For Microsoft Windows 2000 and later drivers, this string contains Unicode characters. That is, for Windows 2000 and later, NDIS defines the NDIS_STRING type as a UNICODE_STRING type.
A pointer to a caller-supplied variable in which this function returns a handle to the opened subkey if the call succeeds.
NdisOpenConfigurationKeyByIndex allows a driver to access configuration information that its installation file stored in a registry subkey.
Note that the
ConfigurationHandle passed in to
NdisOpenConfigurationKeyByIndex can be any valid handle to a registry key already opened by the
caller.
NdisOpenConfigurationKeyByIndex returns configuration information for subkeys relative to any valid
ConfigurationHandle .
Since NdisOpenConfigurationKeyByIndex references a subkey through an index, the driver does not have to specify subkey names. A driver can sequence through a set of registry subkeys by repeatedly calling NdisOpenConfigurationKeyIndex after incrementing the index until the function returns NDIS_STATUS_FAILURE, thereby indicating that there are no more subkeys to open.
After a driver has consumed and, possibly, modified the configuration information stored in the registry, it must call the NdisCloseConfiguration function to release the handle that is obtained from NdisOpenConfigurationKeyByIndex. NdisCloseConfiguration also frees any temporary storage that NDIS allocated for the driver's calls to the NdisReadConfiguration, NdisReadNetworkAddress, or NdisWriteConfiguration functions with the SubKeyHandle that NdisOpenConfigurationKeyByIndex returned.
