Syntax

<cErrorInformation> := WindowsErrorText( [<nLongErrorCode>] )

Error code (a LONG value) to retrieve a human readable error message for. If this parameter is not passed, the API function GetLastError() is called and the error message for the returned error code is retrieved.

Return value

A string containing the human readable Windows error message for the error code <nLongErrorCode>.

Description

WindowsErrorText queries the O/S for a human error message for an error code returned by a previous function call using FormatMessage().
