Reading REG_BINARY value with native language characters

[ssimop]

I failed to read with correct native language characters a binary  value in a REG_BINARY registry entry. Any advice is mostly welcome. Here is the code :

Function tempf08

Code:

str sval snam s svalm
str skey
skey.from("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidlMRU\" "*")
snam="MRUlistEx"
int i
i=rget(svalm snam skey 0 "" REG_BINARY)
out i
int ib=0
byte b
b=svalm[ib]
s=b
out s
i=rget(sval s skey 0 "" REG_BINARY)
out i
sval.ansi
out sval

It is not string. Looks like ITEMIDLIST.

Thank you! However, I am still in need of advice regarding "SHGetNameFromIDList" . Where can I find it? Does it have to be - somehow - incorporated in QM?

It is a Windows API function, added in Windows Vista. For XP need more code, call several API functions: SHBindToParent, GetDisplayNameOf, StrRetToStrW, CoTaskMemFree.

Thank you. But I am running Win-10, I cannot understand why SHGetNameFromIDList is not recognised as API and it gives error. However, it worked - hopefully correct - when I used "WINAPIV.SHGetNameFromIDList". Best regards.
