InetGetErrorString Function  
 
INT WINAPI InetGetErrorString(
  DWORD dwErrorCode,  
  LPTSTR lpszDescription,  
  INT cbDescription  
);

The InetGetErrorString function is used to return a description of a specific error code. Typically this is used in conjunction with the InetGetLastError function for use with warning dialogs or as diagnostic messages.

Parameters

dwErrorCode
The last-error code for which a description is returned.
lpszDescription
A pointer to the buffer that will contain a description of the specified error code. This buffer should be at least 128 characters in length.
cbDescription
The maximum number of characters that may be copied into the description buffer.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is the length of the description string. If the function fails, the return value is 0, meaning that no description exists for the specified error code. Typically this indicates that the error code passed to the function is invalid.
