Code Example for Working with ADSI Error Messages

The following code example shows how to retrieve an ADSI error message.

CString GetErrorMessage( HRESULT hr )
{
    BOOL bRet;
    CString s;
    LPTSTR lpBuffer=NULL;
 
    if ( SUCCEEDED(hr) )
    {
        return _T("Success");
    }
 
    
    if ( hr & 0x00005000) // standard ADSI Errors 
    {
        s = GetADSIError(hr);
    }
    else if ( HRESULT_FACILITY(hr)==FACILITY_WIN32 )
    {
 
 
        /////////////////////////////////////////////

        bRet = FormatMessage(FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER |
