EngSetLastError

The EngSetLastError function causes GDI to report an error code, which can be retrieved by an application.

VOID
  EngSetLastError(
    IN ULONG  iError
    );

Parameters

iError

Specifies the 32-bit error code to set.

Return Value

None

Headers

Declared in winddi.h. Include winddi.h.

Comments

EngSetLastError sets the last error code for the calling thread. This function allows a driver to communicate error conditions to an application. To facilitate this communication, a driver should use the Win32 application error codes defined in winerror.h.

Only the last error code to be set is retrievable; that is, consecutive calls to EngSetLastError will cause the last-error code field to be overwritten.
