I think this may confuse the OP: when you use a dll, you often have a lib file that is provided with it. But the lib file contains only information about how to load the DLL and you won't be able to use only the lib file.
AFAIK, if you don't have the code of the dll, then I think your only choice is to link dynamically.

Hi, i need to know when some (or every, if no other way) keys of the windows' registry are modified or added or removed.
I looked for some kind of hooks but didn't manage to do it...
Is there a way to achieve this ?
thanks

See RegNotifyChangeKeyValue().

Is Microsoft still hiding that stuff in the documentation?

Ok i tried this function but the only thing it does is notifying me something has changed under a specified regkey. But how do i know what exactly changed ?

You mean what value was changed?

yes or what subkey was added/removed ... etc

You'll need to compare before and after "snapshots."

that's what i already do but it's very very slow because ineed to compare 2 trees of HKLM\Classes !
no way to get only the things that changed ?

None that I know of.

so is there a way to extract a .reg (snapshot) at one time, extract another one after and a tool to compare and save another .reg containing the differences ?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, see RegSaveKey().

great with this i can do my 2 snapshots (are they .reg files ?)
but how to compare and extract differencies from the 2 snapshots ?
|

Alexandre GRANVAUD wrote: (are they .reg files ?)
That's determined by the second argument.

The same way you would compare any two files. For a quick & dirty approach, you could capture the output of fc.exe.

fc.exe is it included in windows ?
|
|
|
|

As far as I know, it's part of the standard installation.

nice
but the second argument you mentionned is just the filename not the fileformat, i'd need text file format (like .regs are)

Which is what RegSaveKey() does.

no it saves a .dat file which is (i verified it with notepad) a binary file not a text file : a proprietary fileformat

My bad. I was thinking of the "export" feature of regedit.

oh it can interest me too
i'd like a commandline export feature from regedit, does it exist ?
|

No, regedit does not support command-line arguments.

is there another way to extract .reg files from commandline ?

Other than rolling your own, not that I know of. Using the registry API, it wouldn't be that difficult.
If you are considering doing this for the sole purpose of comparing two registry keys, don't bother writing to disk first. That would be just too much time. Write to some data structure in memory instead.
