Convert HRESULT into error string?
Author
Hi, im using some COM functions (mainly directshow) and i want to know how i can convert a FAILED() HRESULT into an error string? Would prefer a Windows API / COM function instead of relying on a DirectX function though because its for an Exception class.
Cheers
Hi,
You can't use a Win32 function to get the error string from a DirectShow HRESULT. You'll have to use whatever DShow gives you to get the corresponding error string. (and it seems they don't provide much information about this). I guess you'll have to write them by yourself :/

Nah.. Just use the dxerr9.h/lib and use the funcs in there i guess.
DXGetErrorString9
DXGetErrorDescription9

There's a handy utility that comes with MSVC called Visual C++ Error Lookup, and you can look up HRESULT return codes there. I don't know if it also includes DX codes, butsupposedly you can add modules for it to search for error strings. I haven't played with it that much.

Hmm, was trying to get away from requiring a specific DirectX version to be bundled with the software. Oh well, think ill have to go with the DXGetErrorString9.

I never looked into that, but as there is a .lib to include i'd say you don't need directx installed for it to work. All it does is map numbers to strings anyway.
