- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows
version 3.1
SUMMARY
Applications for Microsoft Windows developed with the Windows SDK may
display an error message box with the error:
"Unexpected QuickWin Error"
MORE INFORMATION
There are several possible causes for this error:
- A QuickWin application caused an unexpected application error (UAE) or
general protect (GP) fault.
- or -
- A Microsoft Windows-based application that is not a QuickWin application
called a QuickWin function. If execution of a non-QuickWin application
for Windows results in this error, one of the QuickWin functions was
linked and executed in the application.
- or -
- Possible mismatch of memory model libraries (for example, building a
large model application but using SLIBCEW, the small model library for
Windows.)
- or -
- Possible stray function pointers that accidentally call one of the
QuickWin stubs.
- or -
- You may have attempted to use an invalid file handle with one of the I/O
functions.
The run-time libraries for Windows (SLIBCEW, MLIBCEW, CLIBCEW, and LLIBCEW)
contain stubs to the QuickWin functions. Therefore, the linker will not
give an error when linking with a QuickWin function from a non-QuickWin
application for Windows. However, when the function executes, an error
message box with the error "Unexpected QuickWin Error" will be displayed.
The following functions are in the QuickWin library:
_fwopen _wgopen
_inchar _wgsetactive
_wabout _wmenuclick
_wclose _wopen
_wgclose _wsetexit
_wgetexit _wsetfocus
_wgetfocus _wsetscreenbuf
_wgetscreenbuf _wsetsize
_wgetsize _wyield
_wggetactive
For further information regarding QuickWin applications and the QuickWin
routines, refer to the Language Help file of Visual C++ or the Microsoft
Visual C++ "Run-Time Library Reference" manual.
