Just curious, why not just use 'mciGetErrorString'?

[ripdad]

I've done that. It only shows one generic message. At least it did on my system.

Quote:

"There is a problem with the device driver. The driver has closed. Cannot access error."

[Ascend4nt]

Did you mask off the lower word of the return value before sending it to that API function? ( BitAnd($iErr,0xFFFF) )

[engjcowi]

Hi does anyone have a way to test this.

And can 1 statement be added so it covers the whole of your script or does it need to be done everytime i run an exe?

Ascend4nt,

I'm aware that MciSendCommand returns a hi/lo-word -- but, so far, i haven't seen that in MciSendString.

I might be missing something maybe?

- Edit1 - Duh. Never mind, I got it. Simple eh?

For $i = 290 To 310
    mciShowError($i)
Next

Func mciShowError($nErr)
    Local $eMsg = DllCall("winmm.dll", "long", "mciGetErrorStringA", "int", $nErr, "str", "", "int", 180)
    MsgBox(8208, "Error", "MCI Error: " & $nErr & @CRLF & $eMsg[2])
EndFunc

engjcowi,

I'm not sure what you're asking. Want to rephrase your question?

The script was just for getting winmm.dll error codes.

Now it's just a reference. <grin>

[engjcowi]

ah sorry i thought id was for all processes. my bad
