idError (ERRORID) - input

An ERRORID structure

An ERRORID structure with the following values:

lSeverity

Valid values are:

SEVERITY_ERROR

SEVERITY_NOERROR
SEVERITY_SEVERE
SEVERITY_WARNING
SEVERITY_UNRECOVERABLE
lErrorCode
Error code. See Presentation Manager Error Codes for a list of defined values.

fsOptions (ULONG) - input

Option flags:

4000H

Do not call DosBeep.
2000H
Do not prompt the user.
0008H
The next parameter is a base OS/2 error code.
0004H
fsOptions must be set to 0004H to use the variable arguments arg1...argN. arg1 must contain the number of arguments that follow, not including arg1 itself. Note that fsOptions cannot equal 000CH; that is, DOSERROR and argcount are mutually exclusive.

arg1...argN (ULONG) - input

Variable number of optional arguments.

These parameters have no significance except when the presentation driver is reporting a base OS/2 error. The two examples that follow show how WinSetErrorInfo is used to post a presentation driver error and a base OS/2 error:

Example #1.  To post a presentation driver error:

    WinSetErrorInfo (ERRORID (SEVERITY_ERROR, PMERR_INV_COORDINATE), NOBEEP);

Example #2.  To post a base OS/2 error:

    WinSetErrorInfo (ERRORID (SEVERITY_WARNING, ErrorCode),
    (DOSERROR+NOBEEP+NOPROMPT), DosErrorCode);

There is no return value for this function.
