Just curious, why not just use 'mciGetErrorString'?

I've done that. It only shows one generic message. At least it did on my system.

Did you mask off the lower word of the return value before sending it to that API function? ( BitAnd($iErr,0xFFFF) )

Ascend4nt,

I'm aware that MciSendCommand returns a hi/lo-word -- but, so far, i haven't seen that in MciSendString.

I might be missing something maybe?

- Edit1 - Duh. Never mind, I got it. Simple eh?

For $i = 290 To 310
    mciShowError($i)
Next

Func mciShowError($nErr)
    Local $eMsg = DllCall("winmm.dll", "long", "mciGetErrorStringA", "int", $nErr, "str", "", "int", 180)
    MsgBox(8208, "Error", "MCI Error: " & $nErr & @CRLF & $eMsg[2])
EndFunc

engjcowi,

I'm not sure what you're asking. Want to rephrase your question?

The script was just for getting winmm.dll error codes.

Now it's just a reference. <grin>
