Note the ampersand. That passes the variable by reference.

Nitpick - ampersand is &; that's the @ (at) to force pass by ref in a function or method.

You'd have to rework the class - the API call tells you the registry return type, but the FFC class only handles strings. There are 12 possible variants. You want to look at the RegQueryValue() or RegQueryValueEx() API call in the FFC to modify the behavior.
