Re: DirectPlay should convert dwReserved1/2 registry keys from strings to DWORDs

[Joris Huizer]

if( i == 0 )
-          memcpy( &lpSpData->dwReserved1, returnBuffer, sizeof(lpSpData->dwReserved1) );
+         sscanf(returnBuffer, "%x", &lpSpData->dwReserved1);
 


Couldnt you use:
strcpy(lpSpData->dwReserved1,returnBuffer);

Sorry for only replying now; Your solution is equivalent, except that it is looks more complicated

Reading a string and interpreting it as a hex value, this value then
being stored in a DWORD, is not quite the same as copying the string
into the memory occupied by the DWORD.

-f.r.
