    In This Topic

    Description

    The GetErrorDescription method returns a text description of an xcdError, xcdWarning or xcdSkippingReason enumeration member.

    This method is particularly useful in order to translate an error, warning or skipping reason code into English text in order to display a more detailed error than just the value of the error, warning or skipping reason code.

    For example, to assign the description of the xerReadZipFile (505) error to a string, do this:

    DescribeError = XceedZip1.GetErrorDescription(xvtError, 505);

    or

    DescribeError = XceedZip1.GetErrorDescription(xvtError, xerReadZipFile); 

    Declaration ActiveX)  
    Method GetErrorDescription(xType As xcdValueType, lValue As Long) As String                    
    Declaration (DLL API)  
    UINT XzGetErrorDescription( HXCEEDZIP hZip, xcdValueType xType, int nCode, TCHAR* pszBuffer, UINT uMaxLength )                    

    Parameters

    Parameter Description
