CA_FillErrorInfo
HRESULT CA_FillErrorInfo (HRESULT errorCode, ERRORINFO *errorInfo, int *errorInfoPresent);
Purpose
![]() |
Note This function has been superseded by CA_FillErrorInfoEx. |
If the error code indicates failure, CA_FillErrorInfo queries the system for error information. If error information is available, this function fills in the sCode, source, description, helpFile, and helpContext fields of the ERRORINFO structure.
CA_FillErrorInfo calls the system function GetErrorInfo to obtain the error information.

Output | ||
Name | Type | Description |
errorInfo | ERRORINFO | When the ActiveX server method invoked by this function fails with the error code DISP_E_EXCEPTION, descriptive information about the error code is stored in this parameter. The descriptive information includes the error code, source, and description. The information also can include a help file and help file context. When the ActiveX server method invoked by this function fails with the error codes DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH, or E_INVALIDARG, the parameter position of the invalid argument can be stored in the errorParamPos member of this parameter. This parameter can be NULL. |
errorInfoPresent | int | A Boolean value indicating whether error information was available from the system. |
Return Value
Name | Type | Description |
status | HRESULT | A value indicating whether an error occurred. Negative error codes indicate function failure. Error codes are defined in CVIversion\include\cviauto.h and <Program Files>\National Instruments\Shared\MSDTRedistributables\SDKHeaderFiles\8.1\winerror.h. The LabWindows/CVI ActiveX Library explicitly returns error codes. Other error codes in winerror.h are generated by ActiveX servers and passed on to you by the LabWindows/CVI ActiveX Library. You can use CA_GetAutomationErrorString to get the description of an error code or CA_DisplayErrorInfo to display the description of the error code. |
