midiOutGetErrorText
The midiOutGetErrorText function retrieves a textual description for an error identified by the specified error code.
UINT midiOutGetErrorText(
MMRESULT mmrError,
LPTSTR lpText,
UINT cchText
);
Parameters
mmrError
Error code.
lpText
Pointer to a buffer to be filled with the textual error description.
cchText
Length, in characters, of the buffer pointed to by lpText.

| Value | Description |
| MMSYSERR_BADERRNUM | The specified error number is out of range. |
| MMSYSERR_INVALPARAM | The specified pointer or structure is invalid. |
Remarks
If the textual error description is longer than the specified buffer, the description is truncated. The returned error string is always null-terminated.
