The midiOutGetErrorText function retrieves a textual description for an error identified by the specified error code.
UINT midiOutGetErrorText(
MMRESULT mmrError,
LPSTR lpText,
UINT cchText
);
Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following:
Value | Description | |
---|---|---|
MMSYSERR_BADERRNUM | The specified error number is out of range. | |
MMSYSERR_INVALPARAM | The specified pointer or structure is invalid. |
If the textual error description is longer than the specified buffer, the description is truncated. The returned error string is always null-terminated. If cchText is zero, nothing is copied, and the function returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR. All error descriptions are less than MAXERRORLENGTH characters long.
