Implementation

String regGetExpandString(
  int hkey,
  String subKey,
  String valueName, {
  int accessRights = KEY_QUERY_VALUE,
  bool expand = true,
}) {
  late final String value;

  var flags = RRF_RT_REG_SZ;

  if (expand == false) {
    // flags = RRF_NOEXPAND;
    flags = RRF_RT_REG_EXPAND_SZ | RRF_NOEXPAND;
  }

  final pResult = _regGetValue(
    hkey,
    subKey,
    valueName,
    flags: flags,
    accessRights: accessRights,
  );
  try {
    value = pResult.toDartString();
  } finally {
    pResult.free();
  }
  return value;
