getlasterror

[Steve DeWitt]

why would I be getting error codes like 1447(the window does not have
scroll bars),1445(cannot process a message from a window that is not an
mdi), and 1401(invalid menu handle) when my window does not have scroll
bars, mdi, or a menu? The window is basically just a test window. I am
using the wininet api to do ftp functions.

I call the getlasterror() function from the KERNEL32.DLL. I was hoping
to get the ftp error messges.

I have no solid answer for you, but I do have another thing for you to think
about. The GetLastError doesn't always get called so there are times it has
an error from something else sitting in the buffer. I have been doing an
explicit SetError before doing any processing so that I am a little more
comfortable that the error that is in the buffer is the one that I want.

I would also use a dllspy to see what else is being called from the wininet
api.

Remember that GetLastError( ) returns the calling thread's last-error code
value. I suspect that these error codes are processed after your ftp
activity.

Function boolean InternetCloseHandle (ulong hInternet) Library "WININET.DLL"

return InternetCloseHandle(au_session)

iul_errorcode = GetLastError()

is this what you are asking for?
