NDdeGetErrorString

The NDdeGetErrorString function is called to convert an error code returned by a network DDE function into an error string that explains the returned error code.

UINT NDdeGetErrorString(
  UINT uErrorCode,         // error code to get string for
  LPTSTR lpszErrorString,  // buffer to hold error string
  DWORD cBufSize           // size of buffer
);
 

Parameters

uErrorCode

Error code to be converted into an error string.

lpszErrorString

Address of a buffer to accept the translated error string. This parameter must not be NULL. If the buffer is not large enough to store the complete error string, the string is truncated.

cBufSize

The size of the buffer allocated to receive the error string, in bytes.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is zero.

If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code. If the lpszErrorString buffer is not large enough to accept the complete error string, and the string is truncated, the function returns the value NDDE_BUF_TOO_SMALL.
