AtlReportError
Sets up the IErrorInfo interface to provide error information to clients of the object.
Syntax
HRESULT WINAPI AtlReportError(
const CLSID& clsid,
LPCOLESTR lpszDesc,
const IID& iid = GUID_NULL,
HRESULT hRes = 0
);
HRESULT WINAPI AtlReportError(
const CLSID& clsid,
LPCOLESTR lpszDesc,
DWORD dwHelpID,
LPCOLESTR lpszHelpFile,
const IID& iid = GUID_NULL,
HRESULT hRes = 0
);
HRESULT WINAPI AtlReportError(
const CLSID& clsid,
LPCSTR lpszDesc,
const IID& iid = GUID_NULL,
HRESULT hRes = 0
);
HRESULT WINAPI AtlReportError(
const CLSID& clsid,
LPCSTR lpszDesc,
DWORD dwHelpID,
LPCSTR lpszHelpFile,
const IID& iid = GUID_NULL,
HRESULT hRes = 0
);
HRESULT WINAPI AtlReportError(
const CLSID& clsid,
UINT nID,
const IID& iid = GUID_NULL,
HRESULT hRes = 0,
HINSTANCE hInst = _AtlBaseModule.GetResourceInstance( )
);
HRESULT WINAPI AtlReportError(
const CLSID& clsid,
UINT nID,
DWORD dwHelpID,
LPCOLESTR lpszHelpFile,
const IID& iid = GUID_NULL,
HRESULT hRes = 0,
HINSTANCE hInst = _AtlBaseModule.GetResourceInstance( )
);
Parameters
clsid
[in] The CLSID of the object reporting the error.lpszDesc
[in] The string describing the error. The Unicode versions specify that lpszDesc is of type LPCOLESTR; the ANSI version specifies a type of LPCSTR.iid
[in] The IID of the interface defining the error or GUID_NULL if the error is defined by the operating system.hRes
[in] The HRESULT you want returned to the caller.nID
[in] The resource identifier where the error description string is stored. This value should lie between 0x0200 and 0xFFFF, inclusively. In debug builds, an ASSERT will result if nID does not index a valid string. In release builds, the error description string will be set to "Unknown Error."dwHelpID
[in] The help context identifier for the error.lpszHelpFile
[in] The path and name of the help file describing the error.hInst
[in] The handle to the resource. By default, this parameter is __AtlBaseModuleModule::GetResourceInstance, where __AtlBaseModuleModule is the global instance of CAtlBaseModule or a class derived from it.
Return Value
If the hRes parameter is nonzero, returns the value of hRes. If hRes is zero, then the first four versions of AtlReportError return DISP_E_EXCEPTION. The last two versions return the result of the macro MAKE_HRESULT( 1, FACILITY_ITF, nID ).
Remarks
The string lpszDesc is used as the text description of the error. When the client receives the hRes you return from AtlReportError, the client can access the IErrorInfo structure for details about the error.
Example
STDMETHODIMP CMyControl::MyErrorProneMethod()
{
BOOL bSucceeded = ErrorProneFunc();
if (bSucceeded)
return S_OK;
else
// hRes is set to DISP_E_EXCEPTION
return AtlReportError(GetObjectCLSID(), L"My error message");
}
Warning
Do not use AtlReportError in C++ catch handlers. Some overrides of these functions use the ATL string conversion macros internally, which in turn use the _alloca function internally. Using AtlReportError in a C++ catch handler can cause exceptions in C++ catch handlers.
