LlmGetErrorString Function  
 
INT WINAPI LlmGetErrorString(
  DWORD dwErrorCode,  
  LPTSTR lpszDescription,  
  INT nMaxLength  
);

The LlmGetErrorString function returns the description of a specific error code.

Parameters

dwErrorCode
The error code for which a description is returned.
lpszDescription
The buffer that will contain a description of the specified error code. This buffer should be at least 128 characters in length.
nMaxLength
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 zero, meaning that no description exists for the specified error code. Typically this indicates that the error code passed to the function is invalid.

Remarks

This function is used in conjunction with the LlmGetLastError function for use with warning dialogs or as diagnostic messages. Applications should not rely on the returned description text for program logic. Use the numeric error code for comparisons and handling specific conditions.

The error descriptions returned by this function are provided in English only. Applications that require localized error messages should provide their own translations based on the returned error code.
