NPSSetExtendedError

DWORD NPSSetExtendedError (
  DWORD NetSpecificError,
  LPTSTR lpExtendedErrorText 
  );
 

NetSpecificError

A network specific error code indicating the error that occurred. This is the value that is returned in the lpdwErrorCode parameter of WNetGetLastError.

lpExtendedErrorText

Network specific string describing the error. This field should contain a valid description of the error, but if it is NULL or an empty string then the system will format it's own error text based upon the NetSpecificError number.

• The return value is the error return status that the NP should return for the operation in error. It will typically be ERROR_EXTENDED_ERROR but may be some other value (such as WN_OUT_OF_MEMORY).

For example, when an NP wants to return ERROR_EXTENDED_ERROR:

// setup NetErrorCode and lpErrorText to be the error to be reported
Error = NPSSetExtendedError( NetErrorCode, lpErrorText) ;
return(Error) ;
