DdeGetLastError

The DdeGetLastError function returns the most recent error code set by the failure of a Dynamic Data Exchange Management Library (DDEML) function and resets the error code to DMLERR_NO_ERROR.

UINT DdeGetLastError(

DWORD idInst
// instance identifier
);

Parameters

idInst

Specifies the application instance identifier obtained by a previous call to the DdeInitialize function.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is the last error code. Following are the possible DDEML error codes:

Value
Meaning
DMLERR_ADVACKTIMEOUT
A request for a synchronous advise transaction has timed out.
DMLERR_BUSY
The response to the transaction caused the DDE_FBUSY flag to be set.
DMLERR_DATAACKTIMEOUT
A request for a synchronous data transaction has timed out.
DMLERR_DLL_NOT_INITIALIZED
A DDEML function was called without first calling the DdeInitialize function, or an invalid instance identifier was passed to a DDEML function.
DMLERR_DLL_USAGE
An application initialized as APPCLASS_MONITOR has attempted to perform a dynamic data exchange (DDE) transaction, or an application initialized as APPCMD_CLIENTONLY has attempted to perform server transactions.
DMLERR_EXECACKTIMEOUT
A request for a synchronous execute transaction has timed out.
DMLERR_INVALIDPARAMETER
A parameter failed to be validated by the DDEML. Some of the possible causes follow:

The application used a data handle initialized with a different item name handle than was required by the transaction.
The application used a data handle that was initialized with a different clipboard data format than was required by the transaction.
The application used a client-side conversation handle with a server-side function or vice versa.
The application used a freed data handle or string handle.
More than one instance of the application used the same object.
DMLERR_LOW_MEMORY
A DDEML application has created a prolonged race condition (in which the server application outruns the client), causing large amounts of memory to be consumed.
DMLERR_MEMORY_ERROR
A memory allocation has failed.
DMLERR_NO_CONV_ESTABLISHED
A client's attempt to establish a conversation has failed.
DMLERR_NOTPROCESSED
A transaction has failed.
DMLERR_POKEACKTIMEOUT
A request for a synchronous poke transaction has timed out.
DMLERR_POSTMSG_FAILED
An internal call to the PostMessage function has failed.
DMLERR_REENTRANCY
An application instance with a synchronous transaction already in progress attempted to initiate another synchronous transaction, or the DdeEnableCallback function was called from within a DDEML callback function.
DMLERR_SERVER_DIED
A server-side transaction was attempted on a conversation terminated by the client, or the server terminated before completing a transaction.
DMLERR_SYS_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in the DDEML.
DMLERR_UNADVACKTIMEOUT
A request to end an advise transaction has timed out.
DMLERR_UNFOUND_QUEUE_ID
An invalid transaction identifier was passed to a DDEML function. Once the application has returned from an XTYP_XACT_COMPLETE callback, the transaction identifier for that callback function is no longer valid.

Nostalgia .Net     Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes.  More »
