@extended (error handling)

[Undutchable]

Hello,

I have searched the forums and help file but still couldn't find an answer.

How can I have a description for the error code returned by @extended ?

I'm using the function DriveMapAdd() and, when an error occurs, I would like to inform the user the actual problem and not the error code. For example 53 = Bad Network Path.

Of course I can document every one but that is one heck of a task Any sugestions ?

Thanks in advance.

Only way is to document the messages

Just do something like this:

$Ext = @extended
$Error = ""
If $Ext = 1 Then
    $Error = "BLA"
ElseIf $Ext = 2 Then
    $Error = "Different BLA"
EndIf
MsgBox(0, "", $Error)

Try this, adapted from _WinAPI_GetLastErrorMessage():

#include <WinAPI.au3>

$n = 53; Error code
MsgBox(64, "Test", _WinAPI_GetErrorMessage($n))

Func _WinAPI_GetErrorMessage($iErrorNum)
    Local $tText

    $tText = DllStructCreate("char Text[4096]")
    _WinAPI_FormatMessage($__WINAPCONSTANT_FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM, 0, $iErrorNum, 0, DllStructGetPtr($tText), 4096, 0)
    Return DllStructGetData($tText, "Text")
EndFunc  ;==>_WinAPI_GetErrorMessage
