Interpreting DDE error messages

 

Under DDE, transactions return success or failure codes. You may sometimes require more information about recent warning or error messages.

To get the latest error code:

· Use the GetLastDDEError transaction.

An integer value is returned. You can either check its meaning in DDE error codes, or use another transaction.

To return a text message that corresponds to a particular error code:

· Use the GetErrorMessage transaction.

Text corresponding to the specified error code is returned.

Note that these transactions only work for Imagenation-produced errors, such as using the wrong number of parameters. It does not work with general DDE errors, such as timeouts.
